Vitamin B12 recommendations for total-vegetarians

[Korn]

If you choose to consume a diet consisting exclusively of whole natural foods, as we recommend, it is possible that—partly as a result of our modern cleanliness—you may become B12 deficient.


We recommend that you test periodically to assure that this does not become a problem. If it does, consult with a doctor who can advise you on how to take a responsible course of action.


With a bit of prudence, you can have the best of both worlds—all of the benefits of a vegan diet and none of the problems with animal products.

Incidentally, in The China Study, where Dr Campbell recommends a whole plant food regimen, without any supplements, he does make the exception for B12. For reasons that you touch upon, Korn, he suggests that vegans do supplement B12, and get tested.
