Thanks Bruce,

As Christina says in her article, there is actually no significant B12 in fermented foods. The B12 supppsedly found in other plant foods such as spirulina and tempeh is not real B12 isn't real B12, but a B12 "analogue". That is, it looks like B12 but isn't the real thing. So it's misleading when tempeh manufacturers, for example, claim that their product is "high in B12".

I don't think there's anything wrong with supplements, but I'd prefer not to take them, so I'm having small amounts of dairy, eggs and fish. Mussels are especially high in B12 but I don't think they're recommended in macrobiotics.

Anyway, people can believe what they like but science shows that we can't get B12 from plant foods.
