That's one study I happened to read because it was linked in the article. You're welcome to link to the ones you prefer. I have to say though that in conversations like this there's nothing easier than to accuse the other person of "cherry picking". I link to one study, you say "Cherry Picking!". You link to a counter-study, I say "Cherry Picking!". And so on. What's difficult is to accept that there are things we don't know, that data is scarce, that most research results have low statistical power and that lacking solid information at a population level it's irresponsible to promote diets that may cause harm. Like you sya, a healthy diet (probably) requires many hundreds of nutrients. B12 is one of those. To not advise people to do things that may deprive them of necessary nutrients, is the responsible thing to do.

Like in most fields medicine there's always space to discover more but claiming that data is "scarce" is exaggerated. > lacking solid information at a population level it's irresponsible to promote diets that may cause harm. > To not advise people to do things that may deprive them of necessary nutrients, is the responsible thing to do. There are millions of people in the world facing risks related to obesity like hearth attack and following other bad diets due to ignorance, or poor availability of healthy foods, or following absurd fad diets. Of all irresponsible diet advice that can be given... you are clearly painting a boogeyman, like the article does. That's very cheeky.

  > No. We are talking about the article. The article is citing a couple dozen studies. Which one is cherry picking? And how about the studies that show the results you prefer? I was expecting you to link to some "cherry picked" studies of you own. But I guess you can't even be arsed to do that, right? You're happy to just accuse me of "cherry picking".
