What the bloody hell is wrong with folate?

Apparently if large quantities of folate is ingested it could mask
a B12 deficiency particularly in the elderly.
A study in 2005 found that if elderly people ingested high amounts of folate (folic acid) it saw there mental capabilities decline more rapidly than seniors that didn't take folate or
folic acid supplements.

I personally like the taste of it and eat it regularly with avocado on toast and I'm 42 and still healthy.
