In his November newsletter, Dr. McDougall discusses the meat-eater’s last stand: that a vegan diet is unhealthy because of its deficiency of Vitamin B12.

“How many vegans have you met with B12 deficiency anemia or nervous system damage? I bet not one! Furthermore, you have never even heard of such a problem unless you have read the attention-seeking headlines of newspapers or medical journals,” McDougall writes.

Good reading for people whose meat-eating friends are smart enough to know about this deficiency (but seem to prefer unapplied knowledge, if they read this much and still eat meat), or if you think you’re the one vegan in a million who might suffer from this unlikely malady, which is easily prevented.

Erik Marcus, of vegan.com, recently featured an hour-long phone interview with T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study, on his weekly podcast. You can get more information on the podcast here, or click here to start listening.

It’s a great listen, and definitely worth the time.
