Foods containing folic acid are not recommended because excess amounts can block folate receptors.

We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

“folic acid is not a form of folate that occurs in nature and requires the actions of an enzyme called dihydrofolate reductase to turn it into dihydrofolate according to the research dihydrofolate appears to get saturated around 225 micrograms which means that any extra folic acid that you're taking above 2 25 micrograms is just floating around your body potentially causing other negative side effects blocking foliate receptors Etc not a good thing you don't want folic acid in your food you don't want folic acid in your multivitamins”
“folic acid is not a naturally occurring form of folate folic acid is a synthetic form of folate that your body has to convert into dihydrofolate or tetrahydrofolate and your enzyme that does that which is called dihydrofolate reductase gets saturated at about 225 micrograms of folic acid any extra folic acid floats around in your body is free folic acid and can cause problems potentially blocking foli receptors so you do not want to eat foods with folic acid and you do not want to take supplements with folic acid”
