On 10 December 2014, SpringerPlus published a letter to the editor from Joseph E Baggott and Tsunenobu Tamura, without peer-review, and without offering a right of reply.

The letter discussed and criticised my folate experiment.

The full HTML and PDF versions of the letter are freely available at the following SpringerPlus link:

The second study of experimental human folate deficiency

Baggott and Tamura imply that my experiment was flawed because: “The study design by Golding (2014) should have included a balanced supplementation of micronutrients at the level of generally recommended dietary intakes.” They advise that “Therefore, the data presented by Golding (2014) must be cautiously interpreted”.

SpringerPlus has refused to publish my letter in reply because "we do not support letter chains" .

My response has since been published on PubMed Commons, and is freely available at this link:
