Vitamin B12

From what I've read (and it could all be wrong, wrong, wrong! *cries*), eat unwashed organic fruits and vegetables and greens and you'll have all the B12 you need. Done. Next question?

Some elaboration by a credible person with letters behind his name, Alan Goldhamer, D.C. (director of the Center for Conservative Therapy in Penngrove, California):

"..in a more primitive setting, human beings almost certainly would have obtained an abundance of vitamin B12 from the bacterial 'contamination' of unwashed fresh fruits and vegetables, regardless of their intake of animal products... Although most people associate vitamin B12 deficiency with vegan diets, the majority of cases occur among people who regularly consume animal products."

Okay, so then how is it possible to eat lots of meat or uncooked nutrient-rich foods and still be malnourished?: absorption probs. I think that's why I used to eat so much: I was getting lots of nutrients but my body wasn't absorbing those nutrients.

(And uh, still isn't. Today so far: 3 big smoothies (two with spinach) + 2 big salads with avocado/tomato/red onion/ hemp seed nuts. And I've been doing work at the computer this whole time. Outside bike-in-the-rain time!)

And the award for Most Unappetizing-looking Smoothie goes to........... Strawberry Spinach Banana Cacao Water!
