Hello community!

B-12 is one of those subjects that, by researching on the
net, for exemple, you will find pretty much everything you
want to believe. Some people even accept the possibility
that the vitamin doesn't even exist.

Putting aside the lies and misinformation, I am not still
quite sure about what to do when it comes to healthy B-12
absorption, intake, etc.

First of all, I'm not a 811rv, but will start as soon as I
have the money to delve into this diet (will have to be a
non-organic one, at first). I read the 811 book, and I'm
aware of everything that's written on it, although I don't
remember all the things regarding B-12. I gave the book to
my gf, so it's not available for me at the moment. I'll
topic some questions, and I thank you in advance for
answers.

-If even the act of dehydrating fruit makes B-12 in it an
analog of this vitamin, which cannot be used by the body,
how come the cooking process of the meat, egg, milk, pretty
much any animal source, not hinder or completely destroy the
bacteria? This simply doesn't add up, does it?

-I'm aware that, not only for this specific vitamin, but for
most deficiencies are due to malabsorption, rather than low
intake.
With that in mind, we can easily say that, for that matter,
an SAD person will absorb much less than an 811rv
individual, am I correct in that assumption? And even with a
good diet, it seems that emotional poise comes into play as
well. All in all, even the healthiest of the raw fooders can
end up having the deficiency. In that case, I imagine that
supplementing would be a wise decision, after all, even Doug
did it, right?

-SAD diet have a long long list of all other maladies that
can, and probably will, cause to people that "eat it". Can
we say, with a reasonable amonut of certainty, that an SAD
dieter is as much, or even more, prone to have this
deficiency as an 811rv fellow?

Thanks again and have a great one.
