The B12 situation seem dire for vegans, but i suspect we absorb some of what we produce, mabye even enough for adults to sustain. It is notoriously hard to measure nutrient production in the GIT, even that of amino acids. EAA´s are no longer essential :)
@reddust Very nice post and the topics are the most interesting out there, I as well love epigenetics and nutrition and the combination is just perfect!
I wrote a little piece on arsenic and epigenetical changes, really interesting and there are so many new publications coming every day on the topic :))
It is very true that science is changing regarding nutrition and I am so glad to in the middle of it all. I hope nutrition will take the place of many medicins sooner then later :)
@builderofcastles exactly, iron deficiency might often be , a symptom, needed to be addressed on a deeper level of nutrition, then what adding iron pills to a diet contributes!
One little thing, the sperm/egg cells are modified, removing all epigenetic changes, making then not inheritable by default. Some traits seem to be passed on regardless of identical DNA sequence, giving birth to the missing heredity paradox, very interesting to see if science can crack this soon.

Science have grouped the suspicions together in the field "Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance" If you are interested!
Epigenetics is another type of genetic code that stores our experiences to pass on to the next generation...;-)
