What people are saying
Overall, these discussions reveal strong agreement on the prevalence of B12 deficiency among vegetarians and vegans, supported by references to scientific studies and statistical data. The tone varies from scientific to passionate, with some users debating dietary practices and the role of supplements, highlighting both personal interest and recognition of the topic's health implications.
Most discussions acknowledge that vegetarians, especially vegans, are at an increased risk of B12 deficiency, supporting the article's findings.
The posts show high interest, with many referencing specific deficiency rates and scientific studies, indicating engagement with the topic.
Several users deeply discuss scientific sources, such as Pawlak et al. and Herrmann et al., and debate dietary choices, reflecting thoughtful engagement.
The discussions emphasize the importance of B12 supplementation and links to health issues, signaling recognition of the issue's significance.
Abstract in brief
- Vegetarians are at a higher risk of vitamin B12 deficiency because they don't get enough B12 from their diets, which are often low in this vitamin.
- The review found that rates of B12 deficiency vary across different groups, with pregnant women, children, adolescents, and the elderly showing significant deficiency rates, and vegans being more affected than other vegetarians.
- Since deficiency can occur regardless of age, location, or type of vegetarian diet, vegetarians are advised to take preventive steps like regularly consuming B12 supplements to maintain healthy levels.

@gruntvegan Its not the #plantbased. Its because processed refined-sugar-based diet was omitted. #Plantbased diet = nutrient deficiencies, as humans are an #animal that is #omnivore - not #herbivore. https://t.co/MjRx8e0cB5

@purebtown @saifedean @de_bose @cameronbitcoin Mechanistically, vegan diets provide no B12 and countless studies consistently show high rates of B12 deficiency in vegans & less in vegetarians. One eg. which mentions the differing rates of B12 deficiency among vegans/vegetarians: https://t.co/BsQGhN2ahI
@ARautiainen Muistakaa myös että veganismi aiheuttaa valtaosalle vegaanea pitkässä juoksussa ravinnepuutoksia, joista voi seurata luuston ja kognitiivisiä ongelmia https://t.co/MjRx8e0cB5 https://t.co/jct3Yo5aun
