- yladiz 3y agoThis directly contradicts the Wikipedia article on the subject [1], and in general the page you link looks more like pseudoscience than not. Do you have a better source, maybe from a published paper or the NIH? 1: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B12_deficiency https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B12_deficiency
