Yes switching too fast is dangerous for someone without a good vitality
Of course people should do it gradually, and about b12 deficiency, someone eating mostly raw food will have lower levels (compared to the "health norm") but it's mostly because we need less of it, we can produce it naturally, and do so only when necessary. It's in French but someone like Florian Gomet explains this fact well. Why would I be deficient in b12 if my energy, digestion, and everything is going perfectly (someone "deficient" would not be able to accomplish what Florian Gomet did or just my life style since 10 years)? I'm asking you
- rhn_mk1 5y agoI haven't been able to find any reputable sources about your claim "we can produce it naturally", which sets off my bullshit detector for your entire claim. You might be more successful if you support what you say with sources.
- 11235813213455 5y ago> It (B12) is synthesized by some bacteria in the gut flora in humans and other animals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B12#:~:text=It%20is%20synthesized%20by%20some%20bacteria%20in%20the%20gut%20flora%20in%20humans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B12#:~:text=It%20is%20... so yea not directly by us, but by our guts flora, you validate it?
- aw1621107 5y agoThe rest of the sentence provides some important information: > It is synthesized by some bacteria in the gut flora in humans and other animals, but it has long been thought that humans cannot absorb this as it is made in the colon, downstream from the small intestine, where the absorption of most nutrients occurs.
- 11235813213455 5y agook, maybe not everything has been discovered about this, because how come my summer diet of only figs, tomatoes and some leafy greens doesn't cause any b12 deficiency symptoms? (as listed here https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamin-b12-or-folate-deficiency-anaemia/symptoms/ https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamin-b12-or-folate-deficien...) but I'm not at all a vegan, it's just that currently there is an abundance of figs around, and why not use those calories. I may consume a fish later in the year, but I'd be curious to understand why some people suffer from b12 deficiency, and some others apparently don't

- 11235813213455 5y agointeresting, thanks
- Ensorceled 5y agoThey are completely wrong. There is some b12 generated by our gut bacteria but it is too low in the digestive track to be effectively absorbed. There is a reason vegans eat foods enriched in b vitamins.
