Nutrients and vitamins from fruits and vegetables

Small infographic that summarizes the nutritional benefits of common fruits and vegetables:

interesting! Just a detail (of importance) on vitamin B12 and its synthesis (or semi-synthesis) contribution. The body manufactures its own B12 and therefore deficiencies are therefore extremely rare, whether among consumers of plants such as those of meat products. As a reminder, alcohol destroys this vitamin.

Do you have a source confirming that?

Because, until now, it was clearly admitted that no animal organism could produce Vitamin B12 and that only bacteria produce this vitamin, most often in the intestine and for humans among others at a stage where the assimilation is complete.

Hello delnoram

Do you have a source confirming that?

It all depends on the credit you give to the origin of the sources in question! You can already consult the AADDC (American Association of Canadian Dietitians and Dietitians) report and analyze it in detail.

Because, until now he was clearly admitted that no animal organism could produce Vitamin B12 and that only bacteria produce this vitamin, most often in the intestine and for humans among others at a stage where assimilation is complete.

This is the point of view generally diffused and only partially true. Indeed, the dietary mode of our societies does not favor the production and assimilation of this vitamin (there has already been an exchange on this subject in another subject on vegetarianism). In summary if we take the global statistics on hospitalizations related to B12 deficiency, they boil down to heartache (I can look for the figures in question that I have already cited on this subject) and are found in some pregnant women and newborns, but especially in the elderly with health problems. Clearly the majority of the omni or VG population is not concerned by this supposed deficiency.
However if this contribution is supposed to be brought by the consumption of supplemented bidoche (not for health reasons but for the accelerated growth of the animals for slaughter), the question remains whole and "mysterious" in the VG not supplemented and which do not manifest any deficiency (still it is necessary that certain conditions and lifestyle are respected such as the non consumption of alcohol which is opposed to the production and assimilation of this b12)
This obsession with deficiency is mainly found in certain VG movements (particularly vegans) and in official dietetics (which is dependent on the current conception of the so-called omni food mode)
