Vegan Diet B12 Myth. The coronavirus pandemic is really changing our society, one of the major changes has to be our eating habits. People who believe this myth usually refer to the higher frequency of certain deficiencies among vegans like b12 or calcium deficiencies.

Doctors are concerned many see the dangers of b12 deficiency associated with a vegan diet as a “myth” and urged them to read up on how to ensure they get enough of the vitamin if they continue. Of course we must have previous test results to compare to. Now even though it is true that you are more likely to develop such deficiency when you cut out meat and dairy products from your diet, they are easily avoided by proper supplementation.

Some people claim that vegan diets make people look skinny, weak and frail.

Vegan diets make us skinny and weak. The only reliable vegan sources of b12 are foods fortified with b12 (including some plant milks, some soy products and some breakfast cereals) and b12 supplements, such as our very own veg 1. This is why animal products contain a lot of vitamin b12. They were speaking ahead of 'veganuary', when increasing.
