To B-12 or Not to B-12?___________________________________________
The "reduced numbers of microorganisms" argument seems to be
unique to John McDougall, and I really can't say much more about
it. It certainly makes sense to me, though.
As for the anti-B-12 byproducts in vitamin supplements, there
are two references that I know of:
o Herbert, "Multivitamins/Mineral Food Supplements
Containing Vitamin B-12 May Also Contain Analogues
of Vitamin B-12," letter, _New_England_Journal_of_
_Medicine_ 307 (1982); p. 255.
o "Harmful B-12 Breakdown Products in Multivitamins?"
_Medical_World_News_ (September 28, 1981); p. 12.
