The healtalicious site is good.
Browsing the vegan alternative for B12 though, I found that they suggest the use of fortified products, that is, vegan products where B12 has been artificially added.
I wonder if this is the right concept. Unless of course there are specific reasons to practice a vegan diet, I believe it's better to eat the natural B12 found in yogurt or fresh dairy products, for example.
Also, I wonder how China, and South east Asia are so overpopulated when the staple diet is vegan (soy beans and rice). Most probably the FDA daily ratio is overestimated (or they apply a substantial safety factor).
i remember Paramahansa Yogananda saying that St. Anthony did not live on vitamins. Yet as we know he lived on bread and water for a good portion of his life. i believe there was a reason for the Master saying that the food of the future will be cosmic energy. Yet most of us are not there yet so we try to take a balanced view while recognizing the advice of material minded people (and our own material thoughts.) is often based on short sightedness. i remember years ago people trying to convince me that there were a couple of amino acids that are missing from a vegetarian diet and before that the USDA tried try to tell us that meat and potatoes with vegetables were at the top of the eating priorities. Now we know this to be madness. While the United States has always favored a meat diet-think of how big business depends on this death industry- in distinct contradiction to the health of other nations we still can learn from others.
