Some 20 or so years ago, I was consuming frozen fruit smoothies daily, sometimes twice daily. I believe the cold had an adverse effect upon the function of the parietal cells of my stomach, the cells that produce intrinsic factor necessary for proper B12 metabolism. I cannot say for certain, as I also cannot ascertain if perhaps the cold foods had an adverse effect upon the flora of my gut at the time.
