    Eh I have read that our b12 is to far down the colon to be produced on its own therefore we are not using the b12 we produce anyways. But **** I just take a b12 supplement and don't worry about it.

    Why "please read"?
    Was it for the comedic value? :laugh:

    Dont worry, Humans cant produce B12, we have to ingest it so taking a supplement to top yourself up is fine . It is absorbed in the last part of the small intestine if it is bound to intrinsic factor. The colon is the large intestine, and that is mainly for water resorption. Vitamin K is produced there by our lovely gut flora, but thats it really!

    The odds of this being complete BS is pretty high when coming from a naturopath, especially if there are no studies to back this wild assertion.
    It doesn't even sound like it could make sense, soaking in water before cooking it in water.
    Nah she probably had a deficiency, but it had nothing to do with oats.
    She's probably paid by the big weetabix lobby.

    lolz.

    The only thing I know about B12 is that when I eat too much nutritional yeast I get a way high dose and my pee is like neon.

    Why did someone necro a 3 year old thread to call BS on the OP?

    That would probably explain why the article no longer exists on the link.

    Maybe we need to not recommend the search function.

    I agree..

    was the person that revived this thread from the dark ages, just causally searching for "oatmeal" threads? Or "oatmeal lovers" or "how not to cook oatmeal" ?? maybe just bored.. :(
