A graduate student, who was a vegetarian runner, came into the lab draw
station for a large number of blood tests one day. He had gone to one of
the doctors next door because he was having problems with memory; a serious
situation for any college student.
His lab reports were normal for all but two tests, B-12 and folate, both
of which were very low.
The doctor told him to eat meat every day and have another B-12/folate
test in a month. Those tests were normal but his memory was still deficient.
I haven't kept up with it, but I think the vegans have devised a diet that
will provide B-12 and folate without eating meat which is the usual source.
So far, this seems to be the major deficiency in a 100% vegan diet so long
as there is enough iron in the diet to prevent anemia.

Snip...In spite of the conventional wisdom, it is entirely possible to be
too thin, and many fad diets are lacking in nutrients.
Humans have been omnivores for millions of years, vegan diets are very
likely to be lacking in things like vitamin B12, which is only found
in a couple plant sources (that most people don't eat)...Snip
