I've been vegan for eight years and researching it for ten. In none of my research, including my education in medical school, have I come across this idea. I can say with confidence that there is literally nothing that one cannot get from a plant, bacterial or fungal source that is required for normal health.

I'd be interesting to see any credible studies that say something different.
