was chatting today at our local vegan group lunch and the topic strayed to b12 (as it does!).
a few people were talking about d12 deficiencies and how to spot it etc and one woman said she knew someone who was a raw foodist who got b12 deficiency. he could tell as he started getting tingling in his hands and fingers.
this then prompted a discussion on supplementation.
a woman who is a herbalist said she had read that among omni's, veggies and vegans the ones most likely not to suffer from deficiency are the veggies as they intake some dairy.
then there was a horror story about a person who was an omni raw foodist !!! , who died of a parasitic infection through eating raw meat and fish
apparently it can take many years for a deficiency to build up and psysically show its self.
anyone any opinions or info on this area?
thanks
