Hello, I had a question regarding folate deficiency. I thought folate comes from green leafy vegetables, and that's what you weren't eating if you had a folate deficiency. However, I came across a qbank question that said the correct answer was "overcooked food". I was wondering if this is the better answer than "lack of leafy green vegetables". Thank you.

infact one should avoid overcooked food,because cooking destroys certain heat labile forms of folic acid.so even if u take green veg but u are overcooking them,then u will have MA.

QBank is correct (overcooked food)
