Plus the information given states that B-12 is a long lived substance that
stays in the body for a very long time. Anyone who became vegan as a teen or
young adult need not worry about this issue til thier late 50s. And that is
assuming they consume no additional sources of B-12 from the point they
become vegan on. The only ones have may have some reason for concern are
those who become vegans from birth, which would have to be a decision
brought on them by thier parents, who likely know enough to supply a varied
diet...

I would think that many vegans know enough about nutrition
to take B12 supplements and avoid the problem.

The ones I've known certainly did this.
