It's pretty sobering stuff. The b12 issue is one many have been aware of for a while, but the problems stemming from lack of oil may be not so well known. I've been doing a really low oil routine but am really wondering if this is healthy. I'm curious what others think. How much is too much? How little is too little? Don't we need a bit of oil to absorb vitamins and minerals in veggies, and for other reasons? Thanks.
