Very nice video. I am a neurologist, and almost all of the patients I have diagnosed with neurological manifestations of B12 deficiency are omnivores. I did have one vegan patient with peripheral neuropathy due to b12 deficiency, but almost all vegans take B12 supplements. One criticism of the video is that elevated homocysteine and methylmalonate can have other causes, particularly in the elderly. I do agree with Dr. Michael Greger that sublingual B12 is recommended given that many people have poor gastrointestinal absorption of B12. Of note, this does appear to work in people with pernicious anemia, though injectable B12 is always recommended to everyone with very low B12 to raise levels quickly. Another point I would make is to warn people against nitrous oxide use for recreational purposes, as I have had multiple patients develop B12 deficiency and subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord (nitrous oxide causes B12 deficiency).

Why are humans taken into account separately than other animals on these issues? The whole thing is modern society base. We've tried to replace nature with tech, with the promise of pills.. As a microbiologist, I study the lapses disciplines have with nutrition science insights.. Things are quickly and radically changing, and I know it's human ego that is the challenge.. As a neurologist, you don't want to change or have to deal with people living dueling lifestyles.. you've invested your entire life so you demand respect.. and this holding onto power and authority that is the true hindering factor of people dealing with preventable disease.

And I'd love to see the rates of this occuring in recreation whip it users. Your claims, regardless of any truths, definitely seems absurd.. Do you also warn your patients than animal products inherently disrupt B12 use, regulation, and recycling? Are you also warning your patience not to rely on modern societies promises of miracle cures in a pill? Nutrient synthesis and the sharing of metabolites between microbes has even been fully explored.. even further adding to the absurdity of your claims.. Let's talk about cultured foods? Not hypersterilizing your environment? Artificial fertilizers and rapid soil degradation? Let's talk about all of modern societies promises and conveniences.. Or you can just take a pill and keep driving your car and eating your meat and working your cushy job that keeps the system going.. Neither of you have truly sloughed the data that's currently available about B12 pathways... Neither of you are even commenting on current finding.. instead hyper focusing on bad data, and self assertions (of course nitrogen affects the body, it affects all living organisms). If I had to say what was going on, is that these people have chronic diet issues, bad lifestyle choices, so even if it were the whippits that messed them up, it was their overall epigenetic makeup that facilitated further complications.. I really don't think you "professionals" are as smart or informed as you think you are.. I'll just have to do it myself.. @plant chomper, why don't you let me borrow that nice camera of yours

i've just started a vegan diet, and youtube gifted me with one of your videos in my recommendations a few days ago. this has quickly become one of my favorite channels, and it's led me to your ted talk as well. your witty & humble presentation and focus on science are refreshing also, as a young person who's spent a good bit of their youth online, it's heartening to see how you deal with disagreement. vitriolic arguments are tiresome, as is always claiming both sides are valid or equally correct. thoughtful disagreement is necessary to finding the truth. thank you

Thanks banana! For some reason the channel got very busy this month and I'm starting to see a lot of angry, personal comments. Since you watched my TEDx talk, you know I worked for Steve Jobs and he could get very angry and personal, which intimidated a lot of employees. But I always had to restrain a smile when he did that with me because I thought if the great Steve Jobs, who really was great, had to get personal to win an argument, he's got nothing. Just give him time, Chris, and try to understand why he's so emotional about it. My opinion is the same is true with high meat eaters. They love it, ditching processed food helped them lose a lot of weight, it's part of their tradition, etc., so it is emotional and they are so frustrated that they can't point to the studies high plant eaters can point to about longevity and health. Their impression is going vegan means eating broccoli and never feeling satisfied. Can you blame them for being emotional?

Just in case you're unaware, Banana, switching from an omnivorous diet, especially if it contained lots of animal products and processed food, to vegan can be challenging. One reason is just because you miss the flavors you loved, but another is that if you're suddenly intaking a lot more fiber, you're probably going to have diarrhea. Ramp up your fiber intake over a week or two, such as by starting with 90% white rice and 10% black, brown, wild or red rice. Each day, decrease the white by 10% or so, and add more of the dark rices. If you start noticing problems, give your guts a few days to adjust before altering it again. I hope that helps, and welcome aboard! I'm also switching!

As a biochemist with experience in this particular subject - there is quite allot of evidence that Hydroxocobalamin (the form most commonly found in food and milk) is superior to cyanocobalamin and/or methylcobalamin. Whilst the cyanide group liberated from cyanocobalamin is not very harmful (though there have been reports of blindness in those with cyanide-sensitive optic conditions), the ability of the mitochondria to de-alkyate the cyanide group from the cyanocobalamin is not very good and therefore much of the vitamin is excreted and it does not act in the same way as hydroxocobalamin. Also hydroxocobalamin is superior in terms of the ratio of conversion to active forms and also how it deposits in liver and kidney tissue. The NHS in the UK has banned cyanocobalamin injections for these very reasons, as hydroxocobalamin always gives better results and it is still very cheap.

I was thinking about your videos that I've been binge watching for the last two weeks since I found you and if you take people like me who are way over weight and have diabetes and put them on the keto diet (like I'm on) and they see all the advantages of being on a healthier diet than the SAD, whose to say these people, once they have lost 150 pounds and put their insulin resistance in remission won't then strive to be even healthier by eating a moderate amount of carbs and getting way more fruits and vegetables in their diet. I'm reading the book "The End of Cravings" right now because you recommended it and I can't thank you enough. You got to start somewhere and for some people the keto diet is like a stepping stone to eating right. To be totally honest I'm never going to give up beef 100% if ribeye goes up to $100 a pound I will still buy it a couple of times a year, but what I can see myself doing is cutting way back because I see that eating plants is good for you. You have really helped and I think you are way smart, honest and fair.

After 56 years of an omnivore diet heavy in red meats and animal proteins, I decided to try a vegan diet a year ago as a means to bring my cholesterol down (286 total). I immediately saw positive results - 207 total cholesterol after 7 months and a steady weight loss from 225 lbs to 185 lbs a year later. In January I started to experience some back pain and a week ago I had severe back and abdominal pain with a horrible vomiting episode that landed me in the hospital. After an ultrasound and CT scan, it was determined that my gallbladder was Not in good shape (thickening of walls, sludge and stones) and it was removed. After two surgeries (also had ERCP to clear bile ducts) I had fatigue but I now feel great and on the road to recovery. Many of my omnivore and carnivore friends pointed to my vegan diet. The doctors and surgeons at hospital were supportive of my diet, but suggested the rapid weight loss may have been the cause. I tend to think my 56 years of animal proteins and fat consumption may have laid the foundations for gallbladder problem which weight loss may have tipped balance. I’m wondering if this is something other vegans have experienced or if you’ve done an episode in the past on gallbladder health and Vegans. I’m also curious if there may have been an alternative to removal of gallbladder - although I was very easily convinced given the pain that led me to ER.

The idea of supplementing the health of your organs with that exact organ of another living being reminds me of the book "In The House Of The Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer in which a rich opium Lord harvests the organs of his fully sentient clones to increase his lifespan. I read this book several times when I was a kid and it made a great impact on me. The logic behind, for example, eating kidney to support your kidneys makes some kind of sense pseudoscientifically but doesn't hold up. Those animals you are sourcing the kidney from eat plants to make their kidneys healthy. So why not just simplify, cut out the middle man, and learn how to eat plants? Eating a serving of green beans every day isn't a balanced plant based diet. Humans evolved eating a variety of plant foods every day. So we need to be eating more than one or two types of plants. This idea that we can't get everything we need living off the land and must kill other animals for our food is basic scarcity mindset, probably left over mentality from people who lived in northern climates and had to supplement with meat to survive.

B12 is not found in plants, but there’s a bit more to the story: “Plants do not contain cobalamin because they have no cobalamin-dependent enzymes. Deficiencies are therefore common in strict vegetarians5, and in the elderly, who are susceptible to an autoimmune disorder that prevents its efficient uptake6. In contrast, many algae are rich in vitamin B12, with some species, such as Porphyra yezoensis (Nori), containing as much cobalamin as liver7. Despite this, the role of the cofactor in algal metabolism remains unknown, as does the source of the vitamin for these organisms. A survey of 326 algal species revealed that 171 species require exogenous vitamin B12 for growth, implying that more than half of the algal kingdom are cobalamin auxotrophs. Here we show that the role of vitamin B12 in algal metabolism is primarily as a cofactor for vitamin B12-dependent methionine synthase, and that cobalamin auxotrophy has arisen numerous times throughout evolution, probably owing to the loss of the vitamin B12-independent form of the enzyme. The source of cobalamin seems to be bacteria, indicating an important and unsuspected symbiosis.” - Source: “Algae acquire vitamin B12 through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria” - Nature.

The presentation by Willemina Rietsema was interesting and certainly more defined than what you would normally be able to google, and i can say i had the majority of the symptoms many years ago, as you may recall the story of my severe lethargy. Now that i think about it, back then i never supplemented B12...or supplement anything for that matter. Interestingly that going vegan changed all that, as in, the symptoms gradually went away, all of this hit me with the realization - i replaced dairy with plant milks and other products that are fortified with B12, in addition to taking occasional B12 supplement later down the line...as it was recommended when researching a vegan diet as whole, wasn't aware of it unti, then. What has cought my eye now is pernicious anemia, even though i don't have any of the symptoms anymore for many years, due it's relation to B12, going to look into it more. Learning something new from your videos every time, highly infiormative and well made, love the enthusiasm :) Like you, i don't look at specific nutrients, but food/nutrional prfile as whole, so a lot escapes my perception :)

Such a treasure trove of information and great production! Would love to hear your views on cooking oils, witch to stick with / stay away from and reasonable amounts to use as to avoid health issues. I cook mostly Indian style dishes and i find it to be key to use a lot of oil for the flavors from the spices to integrate. A friend of mine, much more health conscious than me, told me to stay away from all seed oils, so I've stuck with extra virgin olive oil for the last decade or so. Is there any validity to his claim?

In a strange coincidence, the label 'vegan' was coined in 1944 and Vitamin B12 was discovered 3 years later, almost as if right on time for those early vegans to start supplementing :) (of course, the connection to disease and available supplements came later)

People need to stop arguing whether a diet is “natural” or not. That doesn’t matter because natural ≠ superior and unnatural ≠ inferior. It’s so infuriating. It’s absolutely a good thing we aren’t eating contaminated water, soil and poop anymore. People just need to take a chewable B12 supplement if they are at risk of a deficiency regardless of their diet. If it’s not absorbing properly then take sublingual instead. If your levels still aren’t going up then get tested to see if you have a messed MTHFR gene and thus need methylated B12 You make many good points. Thanks for not playing down the necessity of vegans taking B12 just for the sake of painting diets without animal products as the most “natural”

TL;DR: gas and smelly sweats are keeping me from going plant based Hi, I just discovered Your channel and binged almost every video :D Personally, I would go plant based, but anytime I eat anything with more fiber I experience unbearable gas(even after fruit) and really smelly sweat, which doesn't happen on keto. I tried sticking to plant based for months but gassing and smell never subsided. Then I tried plant based fiberless approach(white potatoes, non-whole foods) and the gas went away but the smell persisted. Because of these symptoms I currently do keto, but I want to live as long and as healthy as I can and science says plant based diet is the way. If anyone had a similar experience I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks! 😁

Thank you so much for your wonderful channel and video's. You have a very humorous, balanced, and truthful attitude toward every subject. I have been an ethical vegan for 20+ years. I believe 99% of ALL farm animals are fed vitamins and supplements including B12, (even the "pastured" animals) and humans who eat the flesh, organs, eggs, and dairy from those animals, in essence, ARE EATING SUPPLEMENTS. And I do notice that so many doctors who promote high fat (such as Dr. Mercola, Dr. Berg>>>), high protein, and even vegan lifestyles, also sell a myriad of dietary supplements. And, your wife can buy NON-fortified nutritional yeast which lacks the B12 and orange color. I do take B12 sublinguals, or, liquid as well as magnesium, zinc, iodine and D3. I was experiencing tingling and numbness, and had my first blood test in many years, this by a clinical nutritionist and acupuncturist. My tests revealed that I have extremely high levels of B12, but among others, my levels of D3 and A, (even though I consume carrots and sweet potatoes, payaya) were very low. Turns out the lyme i contracted years ago had affected my organs and absorption issues. My nutritionists' protocols deal with improved digestion, liver issues, immune system issues. Just because symptoms of B12 deficiency surface, the cause may not be low B12. But getting a test from a qualified practitioner, helps!. cheers.

Alrighty, some thoughts and questions: There's also some plants that actually do pull b12 into their structure, water lentils for example. There's the ability to also make this happen via the soil or hydroponically. Some teas and fermented plant foods have it also. I am curious about B12 in sea vegetables and algae. I understand some of those may have analogs that may prevent absorption though, so it's a matter of which... And these could be unpredictable amounts I suppose. As for b12 in animals, isn't it true that the only reason b12 is on animal flesh is because it was cross contaminated with it? Like during the slaughtering process I've heard it is cross contaminated with feces. So, for anything to have it plant or animal flesh it would need to be contaminated with it essentially. Putting it this way makes it more of an even playing field between sources. Nutritional Yeast that is fortified with B12 is usually also fortified with folic acid which is very bad. So, I get unfortified Nooch :) I get that B12 is water soluble but having high b12 levels, do we even know what that means yet? It's my understanding the best test is holotranscobalamin. As for the type, I think Greger also says the cyanocobalamin is the cheapest and therefore the most studied and proven to be the safest and most effective. I'm always jealous of your awesome work. I wish I had someone fun to hang out with you like that kid does! :) I wish we could produce content together, like full time. It would be explosive. Maybe we can at least do a couple projects together hopefully...

If you eat only cooked food, you will not be able to inoculate your gut with the necessary bacteria that makes the B12 (every time you poop, you lose a bit of the gut biota, so you need to keep inoculating yourself with the necessary strains of soul bacteria by eating raw veg, esp root veg like carrots and sweet potatoes.

Supplementing B12 can be tricky! I experienced pretty bad heart palpitations taking cyanocobalamin 100 mcg/daily as a tablet.

I now take methylcobalamin in liquid form and it seems to be working well for me.

I'm healthy with no symptoms so why would I get a test? I guess you're in the US and that's a big cultural difference. I don't even know my cholesterol level! I had a fasting lipid test when I was 50 (I'm 57) and the nurse looked at the blood he drew and said "You're fine. You can see the fat if you've got a problem" When the results came I was fine. Don't have a clue what the numbers actually were. Maybe I'll get a check over when I'm 60 and maybe they'll do a B12 then. The only reason to have tests is if you are actually ill. A test isn't going to change what I should be eating or how I should exercise. The recommendations are the same for everyone without issues - whole plant based and lots of movement. Tests can only lead over to medicalisation (dangerous) unless there is evidence a screenimg program works at population level. E.g. I occasionally check blood pressure and get a poop test for colon cancer every other year. I wonder if it is even necessary to weigh myself regularly. I know when I'm fat and not since my 20's have I been skinny. (sorry long reply)

This is really hard. When I went vegan almost a year ago, I went fully on. I was taking my suplements. At first, it felt really good and I wasn´t questioning it at all, I was determined that this is for life. I was following the science data and all the doctors and youtubers. But I was getting thinner and thinner and my gut was just not working as it should. I mean it was bad and every fart smelled like death (not exagorating). I was eating whole food mostly (I live in country side, so I was almost always cooking). Friends and family were pointing out that I dont look good (I didnt) but I didnt listen, I´ve even liked how I look, I thought this is normal. Minor depressions started to occur. Now I see that I wall mentaly ill. I had to try really hard to stay stable. Now when I talk about it with vegans, they tell me that I am full of excues (some of them) and shame me. But since I´ve reintroduced animal products all problems went away. So that for me is a clear indicator, that nutrition shouldnt be a rocket science. It should be easy and just about how you feel. But you must be truly conected to your body. Maybe I will find a way to be more plant based, but never vegan again, this ideology was blinding me.

And as we know coconut oil a plant fat can give you heart disease just as much as butter.

I've been plant based for 10+ years. Currently, I eat a lot tofu because it's filling and a good source of protein. However, this past week I've noticed different studies (China, Hawaii, Japan, and one other location I can't remember) that showed that correlation between tofu and a decrease of cognitive performance and shrinking brains. As far as I can tell, the cause seems to be a mystery, but the key question for me is whether the correlation is from something in to Tofu or a nutrient that is missing. I didn't see the source, but a MD has claimed that the Japanese study show no difference between tofu eaters and non-eater, but that all ate a lot of fish, speculating that the cause could be DHA and B12. It would be awesome if the master researcher Plant Chompers could offer his perspective on veganism's relation, if any, to cognitive performance and brain shrinkage. If this question is incoherent it might be because I eat a lot of tofu 🙂

What are your thoughts on the high positive results of Bovine leukemia virus in human breast cancer tissues? USDA found 83.9% of U.S. dairy operations tested positive for BLV.

Subject request: EXERCISE! As an athlete, could you do a video on exercise? Specifically, I have seen videos by several keto gurus (including former Olympic decathlete Sten Ekberg) suggesting that endurance training is bad for us. I’ve been running, on and off and on again, for 50 years and that floored me first time I heard it. At 64, I have added more resistance training, but after cutting way back on running, I’ve decided the psychological benefits outweigh any minor physical deterents, if any.

Can I just take a multi with vitamin b12 if I’m going plant based?

That beef ad is false, there are some plants with B12 like duckweed or water lentils have B12, some seaweeds like nori and irish sea moss have B12, root vegetables like carrots and potatoes have B12 if you don't wash the food, tempeh or fermented soybeans has B12, and so on and so forth! I hope you read this comment

So is it the case that elevated levels of B12 associated with increased mortality even after controlling for other variables? Dr Ben Stanfield is of this opinion. And how high a level of B12 before it becomes too elevated for optimal health?

So is it better to chew the vitamin pills rather than swallow them? Even if the pills look like a hard tablet and not a gummy chewable one?
