DESCRIPTION: Since foods are effectively a package deal, what is the best way to get vitamin B12 (cobalamin)? Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/safest-source-of-b12/ and I'll try to answer it! I make a similar "baggage" argument about meat in my video Food Is a Package Deal (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-is-a-package-deal-3/) and about dairy in Plant vs. Cow Calcium (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-vs-cow-calcium-2/). Tomorrow I'm going to get into the nitty-gritty on how much one needs on a weekly basis, and Wednesday's video-of-the-day will cover daily dosing. Or you can skip to Vitamin B12: How Much, How Often? (http://nutritionfacts.org/blog/2011/08/30/3964/) and for background, see my blog post Vegan B12 Deficiency: Putting It into Perspective (http://nutritionfacts.org/blog/2011/08/25/vegan-b12-deficiency-putting-it-into-perspective/). For more on how many eggs would be required for other nutrients, see Egg Industry Blind Spot (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/egg-industry-blind-spot/). And those with a thing for vegan bowel movement studies, see Bristol Stool Scale (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bristol-stool-scale/), Bowels of the Earth (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bowels-of-the-earth/), Food Mass Transit (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-mass-transit/), and Bowel Movement Frequency (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bowel-movement-frequency/). And there are videos on a thousand or so other topics (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/) so please feel free to dig in!
