This sums it up www.healthline.com

It just means every-BODY is different. Genitics can do some some nasty bad things randomly.

1452680 2018-08-17 07:49:00 I've spent some time researching it.
Other vitamin B-12 deficiencies, such as those caused by poor diet, are often confused with pernicious anemia. Pernicious anemia is strictly an autoimmune disorder.

Why? Husband has it. It's also a thing with older people, not a lack of meat, nor auto-immune but a result of aging....your body isn't digesting as well as it used to, and thus it is quite common in older people.

Doesn't help that he lost his sense of smell too, and eating is now boring. All he gets is sweet, salty, sour or bitter.

He likes crunchy things: chips, fresh cooked bread, packet snacks such as Twinkies etc, rice crackers and so on.
Not exactly filled with nutrients.

He will eat what I make, mostly, but if it all tastes like cardboard or rubber...well, understandable.
We try to stick with texture: crunchy salads, oven chips, roast veges etc.

And I buy B12/iron pills (iherb), which helps, it's got it back up to slightly low now, instead of panic low.

1452685 2018-08-17 22:17:00 I love animals..... Every day I travel over the Napier/Hastings expressway and observe the lambs that frolic and gambol in the paddocks.

I love them so much I have given them nicknames. There is a small group who all seem to be together playing happily in the lush green grass while their mothers look fondly at their offspring enjoying themselves.

The nicknames for this group are Mint, Sauce, Gravy, Roast, Potatoes, Pumpkin and Kumara.

Ken :devil

1452686 2018-08-18 00:57:00 I eat animals too.
I have also been in a freezing works...and seen it done the kinder way on a farm.
I cannot kill them myself.

Hypocritical but that's how it is. It';s not squeamishness, I can happily skin and gut them after.

I think the farm death is far, far, nicer. There is nothing pleasant, fast or humane about the freezing works.

Couldn't help but have meat in our family, from our late father back to the 1750's, they either farmed or butchered livestock.

Have a great photo of my G-Grandfather's butcher/baker shop in Southbridge late 1890's, with sheep carcass hung up on the veranda.
