Vegans and Vegetarians, Please Note - Foods Made of Beetles Now Must Say So
This reminds me of a series of events in america. Some s. asians who came to america continued use of veggie alone diets. Some however began to suffer with vitamin b12 deficiencies. Upon a closer look it was discovered that food standards in s. asia allowed much higher levels of animal parts, and droppings, in such foods as grain and other dried food items. Because beetles is the largest group of animals in the world no doubt many were included in those levels. Vitamin b12 is the only vitamin that is found associated with animal products or their droppings alone. American standards for animal parts, and droppings, were so low as to remove too much vitamin b12 from the diet of those coming from s. asia. Synthetic vitamin b12 solved the problem. |
