Vit B12 Concern

I am sorry.... but I don't agree that B12 can come from Veggies.

The B12 mammals use is manufactured by bacteria.
It is thought that some people may be able to use B12 made in their own intestines, but this does not hold for everyone.
(antibiotics used today have disrupted just about every person on the planet).

Folic acid however IS found in green leafy veggies.

You can Google B12 and read the arguments on the net about B12 and veganism. Some vegetarians insist that B12 can come from plants still.

Just wondering if you have found out why your B12 goes low? it has happened to me on and off for about 3 years now was about every 6 months and I would have injections then it would come right then drop again now it is happening more often but doctors have no answer to why, very frustrating!

ALL B12 comes from micro organisms. Therefore if potatoes are cooked with a bit of the dirt they were grown in, the microorganisms in the dirt have B12 in them, as an example.
