I read the article and it didn't actually seem to contradict anything I already knew. In fact, the article states that:

-deficiency causes severe nervous system damage
-the primary source of B12 is in animal products
-the human body produces some, but it's not enough
-the author comes to the same conclusion that a "cautious vegan" must use supplements

I'm not saying B12 is a problem for vegans. All they have to do is take a supplement. I am arguing that there are no natural vegan sources.
