minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•2 years agoVitamin B-12 deficiency is more prevalent in vegans.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish9•edit-22 years agoThat doesn’t mean that vitamin diets always give you a deficiency. You can still get B12 as a vegan.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-22 years agoNever said you couldn’t. It’s just that a vegan diet is highly correlated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Might aswell pop in supplements all day and call it a vegan diet if you want.
minus-squareSashinlinkfedilink6•2 years ago@SchizoDenji @BluesF in my mind, it’s common knowledge among vegans that you should be taking a B12 supplement if you are vegan.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•2 years agoYou can get B12 from a bunch of stuff and not have to. I’ve been vegan for long stretches (vegetarian most of the time) and had no issues.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-22 years agoYou’re right, it is. My wife takes B-12 supplements because she’s vegan and has a deficiency.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish7•2 years agoYeah and heart disease is more prevalent in meat eaters. So what’s your point here?
