- FullyRawKristina is really wrong about vitamin b12 and it's putting vegans in danger. And did she really promote Infowars?!
0:26 - "it is a myth that many vegans are b12 deficient"
2:08 - Permanent. Nerve. Damage.
2:54 - We can absorb b12 from our colons?
3:13 - B12 deficiency takes "10, 20, 30 years" to develop?
4:03 - Ugh.
4:44 - No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
5:44 - Kristina doesn't understand basic facts about nutrition
6:45 - Serum b12 test is NOT reliable
9:13 - A dangerous anecdote
10:02 - ...does she think most b12 isn't vegan?
10:39 - Methylcobalamin bs
11:02 - Spirulina is NOT a source of b12
11:59 - Kristina is delusional and dangerous
14:15 - Why don't raw vegans care about skin cancer?!
14:47 - Her recommendations for raw vegans (she's right here)

'Your Body becomes dependent and stops producing vitamins and minerals.'
That must be the dumbest statement I've heard all year.
@Delphinium Flower what?
Delphinium Flower Get out of the house more.
Delphinium Flower I agree.
Lol I guess don't eat food with vitamins either?
When she said our bodies become dependent on vitamins... That our body doesn't produce 😂😂😂
Ikr
Aren’t we already dependent on vitamins? I mean, we do need them to function
@@gabiiibarricatti8999 The fully raw lady (I forgot her name) was referring to vitamin supplements, I believe. Not vitamins naturally found in foods, but vitamin pills you can buy at various stores.
yup, that was soooo cringy.
@Delphinium Flower Delusional raw dumbass.
I have no idea who she is or how I got here. But good for you- educate the children
TheTumbleFever This is how i feel right now lol
This made me laugh
spot on
This comment is me.. 😂
Same. It's good to see that the vegan community has people who _actually_ do their research properly and try to educate other vegans
For the love of christ, stop eating so much protein! Your body will get used to it and stop producing proteins! Wait... So that means that if I start eating a ton of fat every day...
i know it's a joke but this is essentially how people say keto works 😂
Bal-main actually...keto DOES work. It’s not just any fats...it’s healthy fats...so yea...that’s cherry picking through ignorance
@@lancelottrivino2273 i'm familiar with it and never said it didn't work. i saw the similarities between the original comment and keto so i wanted to point it out humorously without sounding like an insufferable smartass by going into detail on keto on a joke comment. but go off 🥴
@@bal-main915 to be honest, I had to use some good old seconds of deliberate thinking to keep myself from defending at least the idea behind keto. Considering we write these comments mostly from intuition, I wouldn't be so harsh with the guy.
@@gonzaloayalaibarre you're right. i'm not having the best of days and reading my own comment back i realize i come off pretty aggro when i could've easily refrained from replying at all. it's just a youtube comment, after all. have a good one 🌱
It's really irresponsible and disappointing when self-professed "health" gurus spread misinformation that could have dangerous consequences.
Carbs Are Happiness It's your job to do your own damn research.
Carbs Are Happiness that's funny cause I think that's what mainstream doctors and media try to do. Fools deserve to be fooled.
Coco Nowak people who see Kristina's video are trying to do their own research, they've just unfortunately come across someone who has the wrong conclusions
I'm sure this is the worst advice available, not like UV who basically shits on veganism in every video she makes. I disagree with fully raw christina, but I'm not stupid enough to believe the nonesense in this fucking video.
Padraic loingsigh and what "nonsense", pray tell, are you even referring to?
''i dont supplement but the one i like is this one'' - kristina
ameliorated i thought i was the only one who noticed that lol
@Delphinium Flower I bet you also think that salt and garlic are bad for you and essential oils will cure all diseases.
My only regret is that I have but one thumbs up to give.
“You can get blood tested anywhere! The doctor’s office..... anywhere!” she named literally one place 🤦🏻♀️
Welp! I’m off to the gas station to get blood tested! Thanks, Kristina! Never knew I could be blood tested anywhere, how convenient :)
Maybe she hasn't noticed that the machine Theranos sold was a glorified breadmaker
I’m not defending her but I interpreted it as though there’s a doctors office on basically every corner these days. Which is basically true 🤷🏼♂️
Unfortunately, Kristina believes her own mythology; she is the holy prophet of her own religion. I lost interest in her when it came out she claimed studying a course that didn't exist.
I'm curious too I'm about to go on her channel
I stopped when she said she was bitten by a black widow and just ate watermelon to heal herself. :P
No women prophets. Period.
DarkVelvet1000 me too!
@@veryberry39 and I oop...
Oh my god! A channel that promotes science based health! Finally!!!
There is no such thing since science and the pharmaceutical industry are deceptions.
Jenny Watson Wrong.
Eat meat you fools. It's delicious cuz we're supposed to eat it.
Jenny Watson Seriously!!!
You'rearediculous Lunatic Wow, it’s palatable so therefore it’s meant to be eaten, huh? I’ve heard lead paint chips are sweet...
It's so refreshing to see a vegan who takes actual, proven and backed up scientific research and studies and uses it in their arguments, rather than pulling stuff out of thin air. I respect the vegan lifestyle, especially as a vegetarian, but I will never agree with attacking others for eating meat, something that has been ingrained in human culture for thousands of years.
That is true. I mean, it just is the main driver of climate change and essentially killing our children, but who likes them.
Not sure if that's factual. If they did eat meat 1000s of years ago it wasn't as much as now. Humans lived on a mostly vegetarian diet. They weren't eating meat daily. Also what about the animals? I'm sure they wouldn't agree. Slavery went on for 1000s of years too. Is that okay? lol
Abi Wilson B12 blah blah - I would be dead based on all you said... chemical isolates are NOT the solution - cleaning GIT & enabling mucosa to absorb nutrition from foods - RAW fruits... you are so annoying & bad for vegan movement ... zzzzzz... 44 years veg, 27 vegan, 2,5 years fruitarian... these supplements float around your blood system & do nothing for your body after 1 month or less! You need to FIX your body - malabsorption ... stop promoting corporate products! They are BAD & throw body out of chemical balance! Check your white blood cells & let us talk about deficiencies! Not blood!
Truth I agree with you on that one. People mostly ate a plant-based diet. Meat wasn’t eaten every day. My Grandma talked about the Great Depression and how meat was eaten once per week. People mostly ate grains and vegetables. Meat was reserved for Sunday dinner. I firmly believe the hundreds of years before that, meat was even more sparse. We weren’t meant to eat meat every day.
Louder for the people in the back!!
The calmest, most educated roasts I’ve ever witnessed. I love your content so much, thank you for these videos!
I eat animal products but I subscribed because you cite studies! And sources! What a rarity.
Yeah, same. Science is a really good thing!
If you like science, check out Mic the Vegan's channel.
I eat meat too, but I'm the same. I love the way she explains things and doesn't attack people because they eat meat. She acknowledges that there's more than 1 healthy diet. I love how her reasoning for promoting vegan to us is because of the environment. I enjoy the facts she shares and how she acts unbiased.
@@emilyrodrigues7370 . She also mentions the ethical reasons for avoiding animal corpses and their bodily secretions. For example, check out her video on the documentary "Earthlings." It exposes the horrors of animal agriculture.
And she seems healthy! Honestly she's lovely
She deleted the video 🤷🏾♀️ As a nurse, I don’t understand when UA-cam became the place to go to get INDIVIDUAL medical advice. Swazye, you have credibility from the simple fact that at least you’re backing your videos up with actual research by science and vegan medical professionals. How does one interpret labs without even understanding basic anatomy & physiology or disease process????????????
NurseKatrina I'm a nurse practitioner and it's just so irritating .....I'm always going off in the comments on people providing false medical information and providing medical advice period to people over the internet. 🚑
NurseKatrina That is because UA-cam is the world's largest scam portal for gold-pumpers, doomsday charlatans, -snake-oil sales men, and other douche bags who are out there to rip people off.
Melanie Ayako Kiroki yup it's a hippa violation to give advice over the internet you can give friendly advice to friends and you can debate or warn but to tell people it works and it will work for them is a violation and bugs me
teamstefandamon myers No joke right?
as a nurse you have about as much knowledge of supplements as brocolli
My dad has permanent brain damage from lack of thiamine (B1). And let me tell you... it fucking sucks. The damage basically lets him be almost normal, but it causes crippling dizziness to the point he has to be in assisted living. Your vitamins M A T T E R
AudieJane Supplementing won't heal that over time?
Kelly Jones Unfortunately not, just like with B12, once you had a deficiency for way too long the damages are permanent and there is nothing you can do to fix it
Sofia Martinez I'm very sorry to hear that 😞
AudieJane So sorry that happen to your father..😢
Sad....Was he a vegan or on a special diet?
I have been vegan for two months now. I just saw my doctor and explained to him that I had gone vegan. He immediately insisted that I supplement B12 AND start drinking a protein shake made with pea protein.
vegan til I die Lmao actually it can be kind of hard for vegans to get enough protein because most of the protein from “normal” omnivorous diets comes from the meat you eat. And I’m sure their doctor would rather them maybe have a bit too much protein than be deficient, which can happen and can lead to weakened bones and other health issues. This channel has mentioned it numerous times when talking about/critiquing other vegan or frutitarian UA-camrs.
vegan til I die
Bruh, no! You’re the stupid one. 😂
Im pretty sure proteins are made up of amino acids & different structures of amino acids can make different proteins. We as humans need various amino acids & plants lack certain types of them which is why you supplement them with certain proteins.
@vegan til I die You can absolutely become deficient in protein, especially if you're only eating fruits and vegetables. Stop acting brand new and have a protein shake.
vegan til I die yes!!!! And protein deficiency is very very dangerous (I’m a med student). It’s not normally that they don’t have enough quantity of amino acids, rather they don’t ingest the essential amino acids (the ones our bodies aren’t capable of synthesising), and they don’t have enough of the semi-essential amino acids - the ones that are synthesised FROM the essential amino acids. Protein deficiency can cause muscle atrophy, weak bones, stunted growth and more. Don’t try to make people feel less for their scientifically evidenced opinions. It doesn’t make you look smarter.
@vegan til I die Oh, so, what you're saying is that you a person with no clear medical education is somehow better at saying what medical issues are real or not real based on the fact, that you have never met anyone deficient in proteins, which you can't even see, than a real doctor, who studied the human body for several years and has a several years of practice?
Kristina sounds like those “pure carnivore” people who think fiber deficiency is a hoax
There is no requirement for fibre at all. It passes through us undigested and has no specific purpose and actually isn't a nutrient. If we don't eat any it has no negative effects. An actual study was done where chronic constipation was alleviated in every patient who ceased fibre consumption, every one of them. So it's likely it is a cause of constipation not a solution. The idea you can be deficient in something that we don't even absorb is hysterical
@@dogwklr >"fibre passes through undigested and has no specific purpose"
Bullshit. Your GUT MICROBIOME consumes the fiber, not YOU. The gut microbiome is what secretes fatty acids and other metabolites to aid your metabolic processes INCLUDING those in your endocrine and immune system.
@@frankchen4229 what things does it make to help your metabolism?
There is a tiny portion of digestion that takes place in the large intestine but the majority of digestion and absorption happens in the small intestine for humans.
Please accept that and stop listening to unhealthy vegan idiots. We are not an animal that ferments their food like gorillas or horses, in the hindgut.
What you are talking about is the fact that plant matter does decompose and ferment in our body while it is inside us.
The fact a minor amount of nutrient reabsorption takes place from this food matter is a sign we are adapted for desperate low food availability periods of life.
Plant matter needs to also be broken down so it can be expelled as waste so quiet down using big words like microbiome that you heard 5 minutes ago.
The fact you assume that humans digest fibre effectively in a very narrow time window in the same fashion that cows or sheep do is quite embarrassing tbh. We do not have the capacity to do so and we never will, especially raw/uncooked veg etc.
There is no such thing as a lack of fibre, its completely useless and the biome can be fed by anything you eat. A plant food that contains zero useful substances for us other than a low amount of protein (we need it cooked heavily or fermented before eating) is not essential in any way. It's just physical bulk we have to get rid of
@@dogwklr >“The fact that assume that humans digest fibre effectively is embarassing”
The fact that your reading comprehension is so poor that you couldn't even realize I literally stated THE EXACT OPPOSITE is the true embarrassment here tbh.
Imagine writing a giant wall of text as rebuttal against an argument that wasnt even made, AND with the same insisted parroting that was literally JUST addressed 🤡
@@frankchen4229 wtf are you talking about you weird little drone? You did make that argument when you said the hindgut secretes fatty acids that aid your metabolism. It's nutrient reclamation for the most part and feces storage until excretion so I'm not quite sure what you mean at all now.
You said what I said was bullshit and it isn't, you're extremely wrong and the fact you spoke about my reading instead of substantiating your own comment shows how clueless you are.
Once again, the thing you're trying to speak about is the small intestine where actual absorption takes place and food break down, once it enters the large one, fck all of significance takes place.
Fibre serves zero purpose in a healthy human as main food sources like meat and eggs/fish etc provide everything the body needs.
Thinking we have any essential use for fibre makes you yet another complete retard.
It's desperation food and obviously you eat like a peasant if you think you have to get loads of it daily. Your digestion must be a train wreck
"It's not a chemical" oh my god I'm so triggered. People really went overboard misrepresenting chemicals as something bad when literally everything is made of chemicals. What she breathin? Cause clearly it's not oxygen, oxygen is a chemical. Tf???

Josey Marie still not as bad as the claim humans are herbivores...like boi.
Josey Marie She told you in this video to "take your god damn B12" -that *IS* false and irresponsible information. Do the research.
@@LittleSparklingStars Well technically back when our ancestors were evolving we were eating just plants. Due to the world changing a lot of the plants were dying and people moved to meat. The over consumption of meats known to put you at higher risk for things like heart disease. They recommed eating meat less then 3 times a week. I only learned this recently and am a meat eater myself. So this is a non-biased opinion I'm not like a crazy vegan lol
Renny H actually, I 100 % agree with you. I am cutting back on meat as well and sometimes choose vegetarian dishes on the menu.
My point was just that some vegans like mic the vegan came up with the retarded idea that humans are somehow herbivores. We were herbivores back when we were still monkeys basically.
“Anecdotes are not proof” 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Am I the only one disturbed by the fact this Kristina calls B12 "a flora"?
7:36 And I had not been vegan for long, about 3 years. This makes sense, since I never ate a whole lot of animal products. I probably didn't get a ton of b12 as an omnivore, and so it didn't take long for my stores to run low once I went vegan.
Also, Kristina's "wait and see" advice is even more dangerous considering her target audience: women. Women have a tendency to get pregnant. "A new study shows that women with vitamin B12 deficiency in early pregnancy were up to five times more likely to have a child with neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, compared to women with high levels of vitamin B12." www.webmd.com/baby/news/20090302/birth-defects-linked-to-low-vitamin-b12
Unnatural Vegan hmm. I have spina bifida. I wonder if my mom was deficient in b12.
elisag27 I had a recent scare when they Thought my unborn child could have had Spina bifeda. I had been taking all the recommended supplements. We had planned on getting pregnant. But I learned from the specialists only around 50 percent of cases can be prevented through diet. Often spins bifeda could not have been prevented. . My daughter was born. She didn't end up having it
Thats not really a problem with women as much as a problem for pregnant parents. Like last time I checked the women are not th fetuses, they are keeping them alive. Its a fetus issue, not a women's issue
ronnie og you're talking all over yourself to find offense with what she said. Anything dealing with pregnancy is a woman's issue.
So, when we talk about abortion, that's a fetus issue, not a women's issue, right?
Zaraki Kenpachi that was me who brought up abortion as an example.
Just because all women may not partake, doesn't mean it's not a women's issue.
As a vegan doctor ( a proper one not one who paid for a PhD in shite) I find this woman ( RK)has progressed from a harmless but irritating entitled rich girl to infuriatingly dangerous. Plus either she has a untreated endocrine condition or she's lying about being a raw vegan.
Why is it becoming so chic to be so anti science? 😡
Tessa Squire - I'm surprised that someone with a medical degree would actually talk like you!
Candy Clews Yeah doctors should not have opinions or personalities.
Why is it becoming so chic to recommend conflict of interest industry funded 'science'? I guess food and supplement industries wouldn't have any skin in that game....
Tessa Squire I'm with you on the "anti-science"... just like the infinite gender thing going on lol oh god
Tessa Squire
I think she does actually! Especially since Kristina already has a thyroid issue, a fully raw diet is quite dangerous.
Lily Koi Hawaii did a great video on it
I'm definitely both B-12 and Iron deficient. For years I was in denial about my Anemia and deficiencies because i assumed you needed to be underweight to develop these conditions...I checked my blood and I was wrong. Please get tested ❤️
Ya girl at 325 I was anemic ( I say was cuz in not 325 anymore ).
I'm not even vegan.
My mum bought my supplements and I knew they were somewhat necessary so I took them but very rarely (I am depressed and often neglect my health), I never knew how necessary it was to take these supplements.
All the symptoms of a b12 deficiency sound like me, exactly like me which gets in the way of my martial arts training.
I am glad I found this video, I took my b12 supplement immediately and will try to do so regularly from now.
I'm just wondering if you stuck to taking b12, and if you experienced noticeable benefits?
I had suffered from severe peripheral polyneuropathy that put me in a wheelchair for four months because I was misinformed and didn't know I had to supplement B-12, and I believed I could get it from soy milk or fortified foods. I still have nerve damage in my feet and I'll probably never get my sensory nerves back, not to mention the terrible nerve pain which cannot even compare to muscle aches on the scale of intensity. This information is incredibly harmful and it can create damage that might never be repaired.
Are you supplementing sublingually? And how are your levels now? I am not being nosy, just curious. My levels were so low I was exhibitng symptoms, started with a tablet under the tongue and 2 1/2 months later was in the normal range. This topic fascinates me, because it is one of the truly dangerous conditions that can so easily be fixed.
Laurie Welch my doctors made me take B-12 shots monthly and B-complex supplements x3 daily, my levels are in the normal range now. I only take one supplement a day now, but it took me three months to get my feet back and almost six months for the symptoms to fade almost fully.
Awwe wow 😥😥😥. So glad ur okay
@@laurie8090 wake up call for me!!! Wowza Iva Pletikosac situation ranf bells for me. On my own intuitivenness I went from vegetarian to a reluctant vegan. Being uber fluoritic I more then suspect this highly reactive bioaccumluator has pirated and impaired conversion/absorption of fat soluble bits and nutrients.
I will look into your suggestions as I am trying to correct all of the medigating factors caused from being toxic with not just fluoride, but mercury also.
That is to read "fluoritoxic"
Kristina makes me SO frustrated. Misinformation right and left on her channel. Thank you for doing responses to her videos. So important.
+Clodia Frazil
Agreed.
I'm not a vegan but I can't stop watching your videos cuz you look exactly like Velma from Scooby Doo
Brilliant! 😂😂😂👍
I didn't know we were able to produce our own vitamins.
But minerals too?
Are we able to spontaneously condense energy into matter?
Oh, I don't eat calcium, my body already produce it.
WTF??
Sounds like the ultimate superpower
Your body does produce a few vitamins and minerals but in very low doses. However the majority of them must be sourced from food.
It's not just the b12. You can tell based on her bloodwork at 2:45 that she also has low ferritin and low saturation of iron. These are more signs that she isn't supplementing appropriately to make up for nutrients found in high concentrations in animal protein.
As for her fats, sure her LDL (bad) cholesterol is low, but her HDL (good) is also low, which is still a risk factor for cardiovascular disease even if LDL is low. Also her triglycerides (other fat in the blood) are high as well... As a doctor I do not see a picture of health in the bloodwork.
I imagine she has to act quite energetic on camera compared to her normal (likely tired) self and she is certainly at risk for depression with low iron/ferritin status as a vegan (assuming she doesn't supplement properly). This is coming from someone in the medical field who was also once a vegan for 2.5 years... not trying to be ignorant here.
Yup, yup and yup. My LDL and HDl readings have always been fabulous. You know what wasn't fantastic? My triglycerides. Through the effing roof. That's not healthy, it's a serious risk. I was anemic and my thyroid was in the tank. Everything else was great, but I was NOT healthy because of it, I was unhealthy because of the bad things. I had to radically change my intake and take supplements and go on medicine for my thyroid. You have to look at everything! I'm not a doctor, but it's like, you can't take care of the whole house EXCEPT for the roof which is collapsing and say the house is perfectly fine. 🙄
That has nothing to do with it. I was paleo and at one point ate 50% meat products with iron supplements and still had low ferritin. It can be genetic malabsorption
Bob Bobfrey but its highly unlikely to be ferritin deficient while supplementing. And if you are still deficient while supplementing, you need to take actions and get it i.v.
THANK YOU 🙌🏽
Agreed!!!
VC Smart checking em out now ☀️
Love your videos Miles!! When are you going to upload again?
Yeah, but look how hot she is she must be right.
Thank you for what?
Hey, thanks. I’ve been vegetarian 2 years and wanting to go vegan but found it to be rather sensationalized and a little too... holistic for my taste. This is from a lack of research on my part but I’m a busy gal. It’s nice to find someone who cites research and makes it accessible. Again, thanks.
@No you hold up are you actually that fucking disgusting that you need to mention a child ? Fuck off that is not needed , you just discredited yourself I was interested in the videos you mentioned but now I just feel like it's a load of bullshit . Keep your fucking hateful disgusting comments to yourself

@@alisasjsjs3075 never feed the troll
Nikole Higgins I know I’m super late but if you’re looking for “accessible,” there’s a cookbook sold on amazon called “The Simply Vegan Cookbook” and it’s awesome! Super easy recipes with limited time in the kitchen. The book is designed specifically for busy people or people (like me) who just don’t like to cook.
I noticed her triglycerides were 210, probably from eating all that fruit.
Natasha St. Michael used to be a raw vegan, had a channel named RawRadiantHealth. She had such a problem with B-12 deficiency she was getting numbness in her hands and was completely wiped out of energy.
Finally she did figure it out, after six months. Started supplementing B-12 and, very gratefully regained her health.
Got tired of the supplementing cause of it not being natural, decided to eat fish.
Now she no longer promotes raw veganism. Has a new channel named RadianceCentral.
Case in point, word to the wise. Good health is priceless, don't gamble with it.
Gretchen Isasquirrel:
I was raised mostly on pescatarian diet.. (occassionally we ate chicken/beef but mostly on Holidays like Eostre, mothers day, Thanks giving, christmas etc because of a specialfamily recipe required meat).
I honestly believe this is THE BEST ONE, THE BEST well-rounded DIET for most people (not all because of course we are all unique and process food/absorb differently). This is also a great middle ground for people who do not want to eat land mammels for "ethical or health" reasons.. and with pescatarian diet there is very LITTLE CHANCE for deficiencies.
Then back in early 20's I decided to go full vegetarian.. that was okay.. i dont know what motivated me.. but I went vegan, then raw.. at first I was okay.. but year+ later I got very very sick.. woke up dizzy/stayed dizzy 24/7 for 3 years!!!! As i tried desperately to fix my vitamin deficiencies.. my body still to this very day TREMBLES at times.... I GET TREMBLING In my legs, back, hands..
3 years into my healing and im still healing and hope to god itsnot permanent!! B12 def can destroy your VESTIBULAR SYSTEM!! YOUR SENSE OF BALANCE.. your sense of spatial dimensions, where you are in space.. go look please. Im still healing years later! I hurt my precious body trying to be vegan all because of all the SHAMING that goes on to become vegan!!😝😖.
See, its not safe to go FULL VEGAN without getting all your blood work done first, get everything checked out first, and be sure you dont have any unique conditions!!
You see.. here is why you should AT LEAST GET CHECKUP BEFORE going full RAW vegan: i didnt know at the time that i went vegan.. that I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (connective tissue disorder/faulty collagen = collagen is 80% of body. Collagen protein builds cartilage, tendants, ligament, soft tissue like lining in stomache, lining in organs, thin membrain between organs (like the glue that holds everything in place inside the body).. arteries, veins, eyeballs, the menengines (sack brain sits in) etc etc.. ALL OF IT IS BUILT FROM COLLAGEN PROTEIN.. so thus means that certain foods, even suppliments i may not absorb well.. too fast/too slow, too little/too much.. i metabolise totally different than most people. So when i went raw vegan my body had no reserve for b12, i also was very low iron.. some peoples bodies just work better with cooked foods, meat, fish etc.. i just happen to be that person and it nearly destroyed my body.
B12 deficiency affects the cerebellum.. this part of the brain controls BALANCE and a number of other things. You can damage the brain from b12 deficiency!!
So again, i luckily caught this in time before i lost complete ability to walk without falling. The dizziness is NOT the "normal" spinning/rotary dizzy like being drunk.. the dizziness i had was like if you go on a boat ride all day and when you get on land you still have the sensation of rocking/swaying in your head.. you can feel it strong. I had this 24/7.. LITERALLY.. even when i layed down i could not escape this horror.. it was like laying flat on bottom boat and rpugh waves hitting or like laying on a hammock.. CONSTANT SWAYING.. FOREVER.. FOR YEARS... (look up Mal de debarquament).
I would have never tried this diet had i known i had Ehlers Danlos. By the way the absorbtion/metabolism in EDS is actually a minor complication.. I live with Chronic wide spread joint pain (this is the main symptom) because my joints dislocate and subluxate (slip out of socket and back) daily.. when you think of EDS think circus=rubber man=contortionist. We are hypermobile (something people call it double jointed but this is a painful condition).
If anyone here is considering a healthier diet and you want to cut out meat etc.. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND trying pescatarian diet as a stepping stool, a middle ground. Pescatarian is strickly sea animals (no land mammal) and organic veggies. Whole foods. If you want to cheat a little now and then chicken is a great option but mostly on holidays like family events. If you simply dont like fish.. you could try starting off with the least fishy fish😊😜.. like tilapia with lemon squeeze and gourmet mustard/honey sauce.
And she's lucky. I have nerve damage from an injury and I will have a limp in my leg for the REST OF MY LIFE (I'm only in my 20s). nerves don't grow back once damaged SEVERELY they are gone forever.
I would love to be a fly on the wall while you watch her videos. How do you keep from banging your head on your desk the whole time? Thank you so much for being a voice of reason here. "Anecdotes are not evidence" PREACH.

I've been skipping my iron supplement for years (doctor ordered me to take it), but you've convinced me to get a B12 vitamin with iron in it. What's the vegan equivalent of "two birds, one stone"?
Cadenthecapybara two bananas with one tug 😝
Feed two birds with one scone lol
@@ok-fv6dm I really like that one, it's super close to the original
Two peas in one pod! Obviously already in use but possibly a new meaning when we’re talking about a supplement with two components :)
Well, in Italian we say "due piccioni con una fava" which literally means "Two pidgeons with one broad bean" :D
Isn't Alex Jones that guy who's now a meme because of something about water turning frogs gay or something?
And do your fuckin research too. You dont know wtf you are talking about.
Yep, he is 😂

She sums up the stereotype nutjobs snake oil sales vegan, like so many on UA-cam.
my best friend & her husband are hardcore meat eaters, smokers and beer drinkers. They have to take B12 bcause their doctor told them the alcohol depletes their B12.
You know what.... you make some pretty controversial videos, but i like it. Some videos in the past I haven’t agreed with, but I appreciate what you do. You could’ve saved someone’s life with this video and I respect that. ✊ much love ❤️
But she provides all the resources for you to look over for yourself also. So even if you disagree, you have every opportunity to know exactly what you disagree with.
I’m definitely omnivorous myself but I am all for this education, like on debunking the false claims these folks make that could be potentially dangerous but also just cuz I’ve never been vegan so it’s interesting to look into what it’s like
DAMN SIS YOU TOLD HER TO EAT POOP💀💀
There's nothing wrong with that. As long as its other people's poop.
Eating human poop is risky.
You risk parasites and poisonings.
The Flaw Fixer You would be surprised.
Actually, if the individual is really healthy [i.e. maintains a really healthy diet] it'd be perfectly fine to eat one's poop. [ _Look it up._ ] So Kristina probably could benefit from eating her own crap ... But in this case, it'd be literally.
The Flaw Fixer hahaha that's my question. Is this argument really taking place? 🤔
In her blood test video she mentions shes on a B12 supplement which is why her levels were normal so im not sure why she mentions her blood test results lol
There are VEGANS and then there are vegans. Bless you for being the only sane vegan on UA-cam. I'm not even vegan and I love your videos so much because you actually know what you're talking about.
Are you vegan now? lol
I like you.

Another great video, UV. I appreciate you debunking myths within the vegan community.
Tom Z
I'm convinced UV just makes these videos to justify to her self eating fake meat products.
Did you ever see the video she made on how freelee needed more protein?
Another UA-camr compared UV's protein in take on a day she didn't select to Freelees and it was the same.
She's an absolute Joke
She's not overweight. She is just at the higher end of a healthy BMI. I don't think she is much different from Kristina.
Veganism is a fraud
No, no it's not really. Veganism is, however, a restrictive diet for an omnivorous species who thrive on high quality, highly diverse diets. Which means that if one decides to go vegan, certain precautions must be made. Like for example, taking b12 supplements. Veganism is usually an ethical decision though, made by people who decide that they will have no part in today's meat and animal product industry. Many try to justify their choice as it being the healthiest diet (which it is not, the common b12 deficiencies discussed in this video are a proof of that) though with the right care and supplements it is no less healthy than a modern omnivorous diet. Not to mention there are some things to say about being aware of what you put into yourself. Nothing of this is fraudulent in any way.
What is fraudulent are the marketing strategies employed to sell products to vegan and vegetarian audiences with half-truths or straight up misinformation. Not many know how to properly fact check and only a few have a background in scientific research to be able to tell the difference between good and bad scientific articles and/or the quality of the journal it is published in. This is alright, not everyone is into academics, but it does result in a lot of misunderstood "facts" played off as truths. Every group does this, its nothing new and just misunderstanding thing does not make anyone a fraud either.
ideljenny I would like to just applaud you for the absolute best definition of veganism I have ever seen .
If I remember correctly, I think in that old video where Kristina got her blood tests she mentioned that she does take a B12 supplement. Maybe that has changed now? Thanks for the informative video. I personally started taking B12 a few months ago after watching your videos, so you really are making a difference.
Yes, that is correct. She was actually over the high-range numbers, out of range, so not even within the normal numbers. Anyone would have to supplement to get those very high numbers, though she admitted doing that only in the year before her lab tests.
Lucy well she did show a liquid b12 supplement in this video
yes i just commented this too im not sure why she mentioned her results as if she didnt supplement and was fine
Exactly how much b12 should I consume how often
If you Eat fortified foods do not take a supplement,but if you do not eat the fortified food than take a supplement serving twice a week.
Kory Mann, I live in Australia, and buy Vegetarian Sausages, they used to be produced by Sanatarium, a company linked to the Seventh Day Adventist group, now the product is labelled "Vegie Sausages" by Vegie Delights. Same product. I found out about the added B12 via my doctor's amazement at my blood test. Years ago, I took no supplements. After the very good B12 result in my blood, I opened my fridge and looked at everything I ate on a regular basis. And there it was: On the package, which I never cared to read: Added B12. So there you go.
Fortified Soy products are the go. I used to eat them probably 3-4 times a week. Even my dog loves them.
I wouldn't rely on fortified food. B12 is cheap and can hardly be overdosed. Go for 1000 micrograms twice a week.
That is a question you should ask your doctor or health care provider, not random people on youtube...
Definitely ask your doctor! But just to chime in, our bodies have long-term stores of B12 so it won't be easy to become "deficient." So don't worry too much. A lot of non-meat product foods are fortified with B12 :) I've been vegetarian my entire life and, with these foods, I've been okay!!! My blood levels of B12 are monitored by my doctor. No tablets or supplements needed. But DEFINITELY ask your doctor about what works for YOU.
I'm not a vegan but thank you for clearing up the bs people promote.
I think Kristina deleted the video, I wish she would have made a video saying she was wrong and take accountable for spreading misinformation about b12.
Paulina O'Reilly Unnatural Vegan should take down her video and make a video admitting she's wrong for suggesting people take a B12 supplement.
But she isn't? Vegans' only reliable source of B12 would be supplements and fortified foods. Just choose which one after consulting doctors and verified and reliable nutritionists
Kristina won't. Her pathetic ego won't allow her to be humble and admit she's not perfect. Like ellen fisher.
If you have anemia like symptoms, mental clarity issues, seeing problems (double vision), gait issues (sensory of placement) then get your b12 checked. Also you can "OD" on supplements if you're super hypersensitive like chest pain and anxiety until you pee it out
I've had those OD symptoms from taking methylcobalamin every day. Now I take it once a week.
If I take a multi vitamin I get chest pains/ heart palpitations and everyone thinks I'm crazy. I've started other supplements and dealing with them again so now I have to figure out what one is causing the palps. Thank you for saying this. I don't feel as crazy now. :)
Dam girl you told her to eat poop hahaha. Good breakdown though. New subscriber
While probably not her intention that part was the SMOOTHEST way to tell someone to eat shit ive ever seen.
This made me get up out of bed and take my vitamins. God Bless.
But she takes B12 supplements (in her blood test video) and now even taking and promoting protin shake! Which contradicts all her claims about the perfection of raw veganism!
Raw till fucking never!!
Ernest Maldonado man SAY IT AGAIN!
Some foods have to be cooked to facilitate vitamin absorbance. But if you want to get malnutrition, have fun.
The stupidity here is very high.
I think raw till four can be completely healthy (although probably with supplements), but being raw 100% of the time is just asking for malnutrition and not getting enough calories per day.
Mandy Schmidt Right? All I've ever heard about cooking things is that it takes the vitamins out.
I’m so glad you made this. I tried following some of her advice, ate nothing but fruit for breakfast and my sugar got so insane i ended up almost passing out and having a huge migraine paired with vision loss in a matter of 2 hours or less after the fruit. I knew al fruit couldn’t be safe bc i am hypoglycemic but she said that i could fix my blood sugar issues with eating all fruit. I should have been smarter.
Lol I fucking love you. You do not hold back. Educate, girl. I'm so sick of these health nuts acting like they have an MD because they believe their nutrition choices are superior. Take a seeeeat to science girl
Supplementing with B12 is a no risk way to ensure you are getting adequate B12. Especially for younger vegetarians and vegans who may not start off with adequate stores. Most people including omnivores should be supplementing really . :/
Unless you aren’t taking the right kind of b12 supplement for your body.
I had to learn this the very very hard way. I had to quit my job, lost all mental stability, had no period for over a year, memory loss, and so on.
Apparently I can’t absorb even the b12 that you put under your tongue. I have to get shots.
I didn’t know that you could take a b12 supplement and still be low in b12.
The craziest part about the whole thing is that I wasn’t even vegan at the time of all this!
I, too, was shocked at Kristina....I enjoy her channel and many of her recipes but her knowledge is seriously lacking. She does not mean to harm anyone but B12 deficiency can mask itself as so many things. As a psychotherapist, I often do a brief checklist when I see a new client about their diet, sleep habits, etc because many things can cause anxiety/depression. B12 deficiency (and a few other things like vitamin D) can show up as horrible psychiatric issues. I hope her need to spread the vegan word is more important than her need to be right. Perhaps she will do a counter-video and apologize for this misinformation. My B-12 levels show up ridiculously high on my blood tests because I supplement every single day, just to be sure. I love your channel and watch all the time. I do not write comments too often....but THIS one really got to me.... Thanks for doing what you do.....ALL THE BEST!! John
John Newmark uhm thank you. You just answered a couple of questions I had about the anxiety and depression I’ve been dealing with. (Just got labs back and yep vitamin D deficient)
John Newmark Im Newmark too. :)
As someone who's flirted with veganism on more than one occasion, I appreciate that you are a well-read vegan willing to expose the fraudulent practices of less reputable members of society. Thank you and well done.
As a non vegan, i love you. You make me actually wanna give th vegan lifestyle a shot.
I don't know why B12 is such an issue. The cereals I buy on a regular basis are all B12 fortified
Trish Armijo You might want to check if its really b12 in there because it might be similar thing but it can help prevent taking organism vitamins witch isnt a good thing
It's how much b12 is in those fortified cereals. I would think not enough. To be on the safe side, PLEASE SUPPLEMENT.
Trish Armijo Sure, But on a raw fruit diet like Kristina eats, you don't eat cereal or other fortified foods.
Fortified foods have some B12, but the quantity is really low, so either you eat a lot of fortified foods, which you shouldn't because they usually are highly processed foods, or you supplement now.
Trish Armijo I drink fortified milk, cereal, soy yoghurt, and also some mock meats have b12. Of course raw vegans don't eat these things
I don't always agree with her harsh viewpoints, but I researched the sh*t out of B12 and Unnatural Vegan is so totally right about this one. I love Kristina's positive messages, but on this subject, just take the supplement.
Kristina took down that video. But will UV take down her response too?
Yes, everyone, including meat eaters, vegetarians, and Vegans should at least get the minimum RDA for B12 with a supplement or enough fortified foods.
If you're over 50yo, then you certainly need to be supplementing with possibly an even higher dose.
Her positive message may be good but it means nothing , in fact , less than nothing due to how littered with false info it is. A grade school health class teaches about vitamins and minerals; which ones we need , which we need in larger amounts , ect. This woman has less education on the matter than a 10 year old ,literally . She shouldn't be able to preach to gullible adults about topics she has no clue on.
VC Smart pretty sure she didn’t take down the video
Mackenzie Hussman "Harsh viewpoints" Jesus, and there are dozens of comments like this too. If you think her calm and reasoned criticism is "harsh" you guys need to go outside. Seriously, how yellow-bellied and pathetic are you that this video is considered "harsh?" This is why so many people believe in the bad stereotypical idea of a vegan/vegetarian: weak, timid, sensitive, confrontation-adverse, luddite, anti-science, and constantly "offended." The woman trying to peddle her snakeoil bullshit to a gullible and trusting group, DESERVES to be exposed for her exploitative behavior and immorality.
All this crap about "positivity" insulates you from the world and realities around you, artificial positivity is not positivity, it's a contrivance to further insecurities. Learn to face adversity and confrontation like a healthy adult. Otherwise crackpots like the b12 snake oil lady run rampant, and possibly get people very sick or worse.
I am slowly coverting to a vegan lifestyle and your videos are soooo correct and helpful. I've studied in college about health, anatomy and diet and your information is 100% accurate. It's so important that you work to correct this not only false but dangerous false information on health. Thank you! I love your videos.
I actually have been lazy about taking my B12 recently. Thank you for the valid information and reminder to continue to take it.
I can brush off Kristina regularly and call her well-intentioned, but this advice legitimately enraged me.
Omg, thank you o so much! For the first year of me being vegan I didn't take b12 and after about 6 months I would often get lightheaded when I would even just stand up. Thank you so so so much for making this video it is VERY important to supplement for b12 as a vegan.
hope you are supplementing with a natural b12. hope you know the difference between methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin - b12. and if you are taking pills i hope you know where it comes from/whats inside that mysterious pill you're dumping into your body.
I am choked about what you said about spirulina. I’ve been taking spirulina and B12 during my exams period for a while and asked pharmacists AND doctor about it and always heard it was ok 😱
I know vegans who after years of extreme deprivation of their body through malnutrition developed nerve damage and some cases seizures. The “myelin sheath” which insulates covers and surrounds the axon is made out of “Fat.” The axon is like the nerve cable that carries impulses/messages between neurons and also increases the speed at which an impulse can travel along an axon. Point is these myelin sheaths can break down and deteriorate when a person is deficient in fats for too long of a period. This results in holes in the myelin sheath which in turn causes the nerve impulses to lose their speed and also to even jump from one axon to another creating seizures. Children with seizure disorders have been put on high fat diets for this reason which resulted in their symptoms being controlled. Being a semi-vegetarian seems more reasonable for most.
MY TWO CENTS - JAMES HUNTER Although I'd like to point out that vegan fat sources are plentiful y'all just need to use em
Psoriasis Buddy I was thinking the same thing.
That's the danger of 'fitness/health' youtubers and bloggers.
Most times they don't have a degree - they just take trends off pintrest and FB, and market them to the sheeple.
There's totally some gems out there, that are worth a listen, but most are bunk.
Totes just took my B12 supplement while watching this video. Ty for reminding me why it's super important!
You're right in saying you won't get your methylmalonic acid levels done at the docs. You will get total serum B12 done which is pretty much useless, or Holo-TC at best. Homocysteine is also a good marker for B12 deficiency, both methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin have different functions and each work to reduce HC and MMA independently. Well done for getting your MMA test done. Too many people are content with the routine "your results are fine" phone call from the receptionist, without being told that your levels can be right at the bottom of the range and have dropped over the last several years.
I am vegetarian and trying to slowly but surely to transition to veganism, would you recommend that I also supplement already?
I would. I am also vegetarian with limited animal products for 4 years got tested and was low on b12, I thought it was only a problem for proper vegans, turns out it is not true. Any diet with sufficiently low animal product intake, including some omnivores can create a deficiency.
I'm a new vegan and have found your videos invaluable. Thank you so much.
Fighting For Animals Better source for proganga? Yes, but not for skepticism or rational debates.
Fighting For Animals. Bite Size Vegan is good for animal rights stuff. But when it comes to factual diet info Unnatural Vegan is the best one I have found so far. It's thanks to her that I found the RDs Jack Norris and Ginny Messina. They are both excellent sources of information on vegan nutrition.
I second mic the vegan, and check out the vegan corner, high carb Hannah, thriving on plants, potato strong, cooking with plants, happy healthy vegan and Mary's test kitchen. For science check out nutritionfacts.org
Veganism is a death sentence
"in·val·u·a·ble
adjective
extremely useful; indispensable"
I know its confusing because it sounds like 'not valuable', just thought I'd clear that up.
Hey, I really enjoy the videos you put out. Not a criticism, but something I'd like to add from my experience with b12. Folks who have the MTHFR gene mutation can't break down man-made versions of b12 efficiently, and may have side effects when taking them. I kept having vasovagal reactions (passing out) when given B12 shots in doc's offices. Too much b12 in non-methyl forms make me really tired, nauseated, and foggy, like a flu. I found out thru genetic testing I have the MTHFR gene and that's why cyancobalamin b12 shots made me sick and why I was so low in b12 - my body couldn't absorb it. I had temporary nerve damage from low b12 and discomfort from taking the wrong kind. So if cyancobalamin isn't working, there are solid reasons why methyl versions work better. If I didn't have that gene, I'd totally take the cyancobalamin version... it's delightfully cheaper. ;)
Thanks for that extra information =]
I've had o.d. reactions to cyano b12 at ingested levels far lower than when its reported/expected to happen. I also get b toxicity symptoms taking the methyl b's (especially folate) pretty rapidly. Like within a few days or that same week. I wonder whats up with me? 😄😄
She looks 40. (Kristina)
Hi, I realise this s an old video but i'm hoping I can get an answer. My boyfriend has issues with shaking hands a lot although he is not vegan when i heard in this video that it might be a symptom of B12 deficiency. I worry about his shaking hands a lot because im a worryer lol I imagine the worst things it could mean and get scared. We're in Scotland any advice as to what kind of supplement available here or actions we should take?
swayze your withholding the seitan recipe is dangerous 😡
I'm having a kale seitan deficiency.
jules i honestly thought people had forgotten about this 😂
HELLO, CAN I HAVE BUT MY MONEY, FROM AARP AFTER THUOMB,SET? NAME RENEE GRIFFIN.
i know memes shouldnt be explained to anyone but i still have no idea what was about that seitan kale recipe. its hilarious already but i need more info, can someone enlighten me?
This is another video of you Swayze I like from the first to the last second. I'm a molecular biologist and your facts are straight.
I am so glad I found your channel! Finally a vegan youtuber who uses actual evidenced based studies 🙌🏻 THANK YOU
even non-vegans should be supplementing
True that. I'm omnivorous and today I filled up my monthly multivitamin and iron supplements from the pharmacist to deal with current deficiencies. I just wish people recognized that just because one diet can be deficient does not mean that another diet is exempt. We all need to be diligent.
Not always. Eating fortified food or food high in b 12 is usually enough for omnivores. Vegans have NO b12 source which is why vegans are at such high risk.
I was about to comment that you seemed to be misinterpreting Kristina's advise, since she recommended going to the doctor, how could that be wrong? Then she said you can get dependent on VitE supplements..... You keep doing what you're doing.
The point is you don't have to go to the doctor to get expensive tests that most of us can't afford. At some point, a vegan will become B12 deficient or low enough to have symptoms, like me. You can't become 'dependent' on vitamin supplements if they are working. They become part of your daily life, like eating. B12 supplements are cheap. I use Jarrow 500 mcg, 100 count for 10 bucks. You'll never have to worry about it. Just do it!
Take the methylated b12. Many people can't use the non methyl form due to being MTHFR positive, please educate on methyl b12 and methyl folate as well as MTHFR.
Emily K. - Sure thing. Because of their genetics, some people have to take methylated forms of supplements in order to absorb them.
also methyl b12 is easier to absorb and does not leave the body when you go to the bathroom
My daughter lost her gallbladder being Vegan after just 2 years... She is all vegan, except she started to eat 2 eggs a day... And b-complex supplement...
I used to work with a vegan that lost her gall bladder too. Strange must just be coincidence eh?
Is a Super B complex with B12 sufficient
or does it have to be just the B12 alone?
Does it matter?
Jesus the vitamin E...Jesus...
I think she didn't mean to specifically refer only to vitamin E, just used it as an example. But she clearly doesn't know how we acquire minerals and vitamins....
We can only make vitamin A (beta-carotene), K (gut bacteria, not as babies), D (sun on skin) and B3 (tryptophane). The rest of the vitamins and all the minerals we must to get through food/ drink. The vast majority is essential, so her whole point is just ridiculous.
Tryptophan is an amino acid, not a vitamin :)...
If I don't have my B12 within the week I need it my head feels dizzy and my brain foggy. If sucks.
Her Ferretin (7 ng/ml) and Iron levels are on the extreme low end of "normal"....no?
Thank you for posting this. I had no idea that I had a lot of symptoms of a B12 deficiency and I went to my doctor. Surprised to say I was very love in B12 and started taking a supplement and noticing a massive difference already. :)
I eat vegan, not raw, and I use pumpkin seeds almost everyday to get some extra zinc, because I have trouble eating enough zinc. Apparently if you eat a lot of grains, nuts and legumes, you need more zinc, because the absorption get's less optimal. Which are ironically the plant foods that actually contain the most zinc xD
I think you'd make a great nutritionist! Have you considered going to school and getting qualified to practice nutrition advising professionally?
Okay but thank you for making a video about this bc I just did some research on it and I'm almost positive I'm not getting enough B12. I don't eat meat and I'm allergic to many other animal products. I also have celiac disease and lupus so I'm much more likely to be B12 deficient. I also have all of the symptoms. I already have a doctor's appointment tomorrow so I'm definitely going to bring this up with him. So thank you for talking about this!
if it says on my almond milk that there is 50% b12 recommended daily do I have to take supplement if I drink at least 2 portions a day? is it an equivalent
9:13 "I have my blood tested, I'm fine, so we showed that a raw vegan can be healthy."
Actually, at most, ONE raw vegan.
I am not vegan and get B12 shots because I was deficient and I eat meat 😂
I developed a deficiency within 3 years of becoming Vegetarian/Vegan because every Vegan source acted as if it was no big deal. Thank you for educating people!!
Thank you so much for your response video ❤❤ I minored in human biochemstry and people like FullyRawKrystyna who has no understanding of the biomolecules let alone the nutrients required for our physiology is misleading!
LMAO Kristina's total cholesterol value is 146 and she's a vegan. I eat loads of animal product each day and my total cholesterol is 135. I'm a 29 year old female btw :)
LDL is just what really matters~
M S I mean good for you, I’m glad you don’t have high cholesterol. But I hope you’re not implying that you believe animal products don’t raise cholesterol, as they certainly do. You’re young and likely have good genetics.
Megan Goodhart Where on earth are you getting your information from? I’m certainly not in favor a raw diet, but neither natural nor refined sugar raise cholesterol. And 146 isn’t high anyhow.
That's also genetic. My fat aunt never had heart issues, we still don't know how (she did die of pneumonia though) very low cholesterol, but her tiny skinny athletic husband had very high cholesterol. Genetics plays an important part. But beyond genes diet is important.
Musty Fan cholesterol is mostly genetic diet only helps vegan diets can be just as unhealthy especially when in a pseudo sciency cult and fucking up your diet. She is slowly dying just like someone with a poor omnivore diet only she has chosen to eat like an idiot to be a poorly educated vegan. At least vegans who are fruititatrian or breathitarian are still meeting their needs and living healthily
13:05 UV listens to Death Grips. Just when I thought I couldn't love her more.
I would get my blood tested and i was b12 deficient, but many times it also came back fine, I didnt know how the tests worked- something was still very wrong. I'm finally getting better now, but lowkey bitter about the time i wasted being SO unhealthy and sick. Thank you SO much for doing this video!
I have absolutely no idea why your video showed up for me but I’m happy that I watched it! I have really crappy levels of everything but I never thought to look into the levels of things that seem normal without specific tests and what not, this was extremely informative!
