McDougall on Vitamin B12
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.
