Dear Ivan,
                    Your cogent remark relating to Vitamin B-12 sources
recommends serious consideration ( we believe), as our nutritional
experiments conducted some years past.....revealed that a majority of
our vegetarian volunteers (myself included) were experiencing active
B-12 deficiencies.  Additionally, a majority of these were presenting
with cobalt deficiencies......even those consuming typical One-a-Day
type vitamin supplements.  While several approaches effectively resolved
the deficiencies----the most direct solution came through B-12
supplements, cobalt intake enhancement and most easily (on a continuing
basis)------ through dietary modifications.
            In my own case, I chose (and happily so) to employ
sub-lingual B-12 and eggs.  I am now a "modified vegetarian", but still
refrain from animal meat products.......consuming only fermented dairy
products and eggs.
