Some people before to take in consideration whether the words of someone are like gold or like dust look at their references.
If that person is a doctor or a famous scientist then their words are like gold no matter what.
If on the other hand that person is not any of the above then their words are like dust.
My view is that this way of judging is faulty.
If the doctors would be correct then the hospitals would be almost empty
but as we can see they are full of sick people so my judgement does not come from qualification but from results.
I don't give a damn whether Vetrano has this or that qualification.
As far as the person philosophy make sense then good enough.
Quote:In fact there are many documented cases of vegans becoming B12 deficient http://veganhealth.org/b12/cases Additionally this study shows that vegans can have significantly lower B12 than omnivores, with 78% of vegans being deficient in b12, compared to 0% in omnivores. This demonstrates the importance of B12 supplementation, and the damage that you are causing by propagating such nonsense.
Again, here we got the same problem.
There are a myriad of study about the b12.
One contradict the other.
I can show this and you can show me that but at the end
it is still all in the air.
As far as i can see the best way to understand it is to see the truth
in the real world.
Look at the Indian state of Gugiarat where you find the highest
concentration of veg.
They have been veg. for countless generation and these people are quite healthy and most of all they are the skilled in business so a veg. diet is not only good for the body but for the mind as well.
