minus-squareSchizoDenji@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·11 months agoVitamin B-12 deficiency is more prevalent in vegans.
minus-squareBluesF@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·edit-211 months agoThat doesn’t mean that vitamin diets always give you a deficiency. You can still get B12 as a vegan.
minus-squareSchizoDenji@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-211 months agoNever said you couldn’t. It’s just that a vegan diet is highly correlated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Might aswell pop in supplements all day and call it a vegan diet if you want.

minus-squareBluesF@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 months agoYou can get B12 from a bunch of stuff and not have to. I’ve been vegan for long stretches (vegetarian most of the time) and had no issues.
