Warning: Naysaying ahead. Just trying to find my way Bonkers

Well, I heard a good one tonight about B12. A simple idea. One I should have thought of. It may not be new, but it's new to me.

You've heard the story that we as Humans may have evolved without the ability to make our own vitamin C because there was plenty in the diet already? No? Yes? Well, today someone said maybe we store B12 so well, and for so long, because it's not that important. A little goes a long way. Maybe going back to the idea that the longest lived cultures on the planet eat relatively less animal protein.

Frak! Why does that make sense to me? If we didn't store it well, we'd need to keep up the supply- more urgently...

Good night again,
Snooze

Deficiency can happen in a year, or in a decade - it depends on how well your small bowel, etc is functioning. It's not just how much you take in and store, but how much you're actually using. So if grains etc have a negative effect on your GI tract (and many do interfere with absorption anyway) B12 function can be lessened and stores depleted.

Personally, I think the longest lived cultures don't eat crap like Pop Tarts and Froot Roll Ups and Wonder Bread, and that is a big help - as is living in smaller communities and all the other external factors that have an influence on our lives. I really don't think meat consumption is the tipping point.

Good Morning Sunny

God, I grew up on Pop Tarts and Sugar Pops and Captain Crunch and yodels! Wow

Thank God they are not in my diet anymore, except when binging Wink

What?

But the fact that it is stored at all, is a very interesting point. If we store it, one might believe(not assume Grin

) that we could say, go without it for a time.

I know, yada yada

I loved Billot Logs!! Although I haven't had one in about 15 years and they'd probably be disgusting to me, now.

Actually this is the best thing ever. A Sakura Mochi - a japanese dessert that is sweet glutinous rice cake filled with sweet adzuki bean paste. Perfection at its best. This is what most of my saturday carb up consists of. (if my stomach doesn't hate me for it, that is).

Dear Individualist,

How have you been?

Though I am tempted to address your post's many illuminations, it's so dark in here I can't make out the computer screen so perhaps over the weekend, Sunday night, after a few drinks I'll re-visit what I believe to be, your misunderstandings.

It is good to see you again. It's too bad we can't all gather in a pub some where and discuss mutations, evolution, itelligent design and how they really make Silly Putty Toast

Best wishes,
Avalon Sunny
