If you are considering a vegan lifestyle and don't know where to start, this book is essential. Actually even if you have been vegan for a while it's something that you should read. We often think we know it all once we've done it for a while, but I'm constantly surprised by information I find when I'm flipping through this book. Becoming Vegan is thoroughly researched and packed with everything you need to know about adopting the diet.
Here's an interesting little fact from the book:
"Over 95% of the cases of B12 deficiency do not occur in vegans and are not due to inadequate B12 intakes. These are associated with impaired absorption of this vitamin..."
Becoming Vegan goes on to say that vegans do need to take B12 supplements though, because absorption from natural sources is more difficult, and can cause serious health problems if there is a deficiency.
