Regardless of whether or not we eat meat, our ability to absorb vitamin B12 may decline as we age. For those 65 and older, a daily dose of 1,000 mcg of cyanocobalamin is recommended.

Our video “The Optimal Vitamin B12 Dosage for Kids, Pregnancy, and Seniors” at https://bit.ly/3866ecy explains why and gives B12 recommendations for infants, children, and pregnant or breastfeeding women.

What we eat determines what kind of bacteria we foster the growth of in our gut, which can increase or decrease our risk of some of our leading killer diseases.

The human gut has a diverse collection of microorganisms making up around a thousand species, and each individual has their own unique collection. Yet, simply put, the bacteria are what we eat. When we eat fiber, the fiber-munching bacteria multiply and we get more anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer short-chain fatty acids. When we eat less fiber, our fiber-eating bacteria starve off.

Good bacteria—those living with us in symbiosis—are nourished by fruits, veggies, grains, and beans, whereas bad bacteria—those that may contribute to disease—are fed by meat, including seafood, junk food and fast food, as well as dairy and eggs. Typical Western diets can decimate our good gut flora.

One of the biggest problems with typical Western diets is that they don’t leave anything for our bacteria to eat, which results in dysbiosis, an imbalance where bad bacteria can take over and increase our susceptibility to inflammatory diseases, colon cancer, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
