The Enigma of Vitamin B12: Nature’s Only Mistake? shares your thesis on the B12 deficiency narrative by blending historical information, research, and exploring the fearmongering, marketing and outdated science that has led to the propagation of this myth. What inspired you to write this important book?

It became increasingly odd to me how heavily Vitamin B12 was being pushed to vegans, and how there seemed to be some sort of underlying motive to malign the plant-based diet as inadequate. I felt there was something substantial being covered up that no one was talking about or even questioning. And so I began digging around to get to the bottom of all the deception to uncover the truth and the agenda behind it all.

How much research did you undertake for this book, and how much time did it take to put it all together?

I became aware of all the conflicting and confusing information being spread about B12 in 2017, then started seriously researching it in 2018. After accumulating quite a bit of alternative opinions online that disputed the official narrative, I began writing the book in Autumn of 2022 and finished it by the Spring of 2025; so about two-and-a-half years from inception to finished product, with about five years of dedicated research prior to that.

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?

I wanted readers to see how absurd the whole notion of this “bacteria/vitamin” being so essential to vegans was, how nothing that was being told about it made sense or added up. I wanted to expose its hidden origin and history, which was steeped in animal agriculture and cruel lab experiments; reveal that these “healthy vitamins” were actually being created and manufactured by pharmaceutical companies with some very toxic ingredients; and show how the non-stop fearmongering of “deficiency” was actually being used deliberately as a marketing tool simply for profit.

What is one thing that you hope readers take away from The Enigma of Vitamin B12?

I hope readers will come to realize that everything being officially told about Vitamin B12 is just another huge lie being spread by animal agriculture and the pharmaceutical companies who patent and sell the supplements.
