And in regards to B12,
> It has long been assumed that B12 is produced by bacteria in the large intestine (aka the colon), but since B12 is produced below the ileum (where B12 is absorbed), it is not available for absorption. This theory is reinforced by the fact that many species of totally or primarily vegetarian animals eat their feces.

I don't blame you for taking a supplement instead.
- gralx 8y agoThanks for the links. Note how obtaining all of one's choline from its most concentrated plant source, roasted soy, still requires eating two and a half cups of it daily. Though I suppose that can be done, eating two coffee mugs of soybeans every day would quickly become unpalatable. As for the second link? Oof.
