The article raises a serious issue, which is that vegans should take B-12 supplements. If you read the article, they were apparently blaming lack of B-12 for the problem. (And vegan cats need a taurine supplement, for that matter.) FWIW flax oil supplements are also a good source of Omega-3's, which are also mentioned in the article. "Flying blind" into any radical diet change is a poor idea. Putting it all together from that article, it sounds like a 75 year old fat woman who drinks a lot, smokes dope, lives on a vegan diet, and doesn't take vitamins or other supplements is seriously at risk of losing her marbles. > > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "Stephen A.
