Why are people b12 deficient?

[Cdsnuts]

Many of the reasons people already mentioned are correct in regards to why people are so deficient. But there is also an overlooked aspect of B12 deficiency that goes beyond the reasons listed. B12 is synthesized by bacteria, in our guts and and by bacteria that we consume unwittingly every day. With the advent of antibiotics, we have slowly destroyed many beneficial B12 producing microbes inside our systems. B12 producing organisms were also taken in from home grown food. They reside in the soil and are ultimately eaten while ingesting the produce. Because of modern farming methods and the increased use of pesticides and chemicals, the soils are so sterilized that the microbes are wiped out, eliminating a major source of B12 in humans. Our quest to be "clean" has had more then a few unintended consequences.

Bro BP coffee is the shit!!!!
I make it every damn day and it keeps me going all day long too. Nice clean/level energy without a crash. I don't use the BP beans either.

Brew


Then Blend


The Blendtec blender with wildside is the shit!!!!
Yeah it's spendy but it pays for itself with the time it saves me prepping and making food.

Sorry for the derail.

I've had a K-tec since 06. It's my favorite kitchen tool by far.

B12 also requires HCl for absorption, and everyone and their uncle is on proton pump inhibitors these days
