DESCRIPTION: The cardiovascular benefits of plant-based diets may be severely undermined by vitamin B12 deficiency.

Make sure you see the “prequel” to this video: Arteries of Vegans vs. Runners (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/arteries-of-vegans-vs-runners).

I have dozens of videos on B12 (http://nutritionfacts.org/?s=b12). For a quick cut-to-the-chase see my Q&A What is the best way to get vitamin B12? (http://nutritionfacts.org/questions/what-is-the-best-way-to-get-b12/) and for some context Vegan B12 deficiency: putting it into perspective (http://nutritionfacts.org/2011/08/25/vegan-b12-deficiency-putting-it-into-perspective/). Vitamin B12 supplementation with fortified foods or supplements is critical critical critical on a plant-based diet.
