Drugs and Drinks You Want to Avoid

Becoming a master of methylation, and lowering your homocysteine (Hcy), isn’t just a function of getting enough nutrients such as B vitamins. We all take in ‘anti-nutrients’ that is substances that knock out nutrients or increase our demand for them.

There are four main ones that are known to raise homocysteine, which means they interfere with methylation. These are:

• Coffee
• The diabetes drug metformin (also called Glucophage)
• The anti-acids known as PPI’s (proton pump inhibitors)
• Hypertensive ‘diuretic’ drugs
• Smoking
