B12

[Guest guest]

the only research I saw

was that in which all factors were not considered

as I have posted before B12 comes from bacteria in the soil

and if you have an active bio system in your soil and you allow a minute amount of dirt into your food

simple wash rather than soaking

there is more than enough b12

the facts you quote sound like meat propaganda

Craig

The latest research disagrees with you. If you do not have sufficient vitamin B12 your homocysteine levels rise and lay yourself open to heart disease. This is why vegetarians have a longer life expectancy than vegans - because they get more vitamin B12 in their diet. Obviously if vegans supplement with B12 or eat fortified foods in sufficient quantities they will live longer than vegetarians. The notion that you do not need to worry too much about your intake of B12 and that you will get enough in a normal vegan diet is out of date.

RE: Re: B12

 

hello everyone,

I just downloaded and listened to "vegan in a nutshell" from the Peta site

it makes some great comments.

first off most health issues western society faces are gluttony related not vitamin deficiency related

 

in a good balanced vegan diet there is no need to worry about vitamins

as for b12 we need like 5 micro grams per month this vitamin which the body recycles over and over

if you eat your fresh salads grown in soil (not hydroponic)

don't worry you have enough

a good multiple with b complex

extra C or E in winter to fight colds

maybe zinc & magnesium

that should cover any short comings in diet

all surplus of most vitamins are just discharged

hope that helps a bit

 

and do down load the "vegan in a nutshell" make copies and spread the word

 

all the best

Craig
