Do you think vegetarianism is a dangerous fad diet? You know, the need
for B12 supplements and all.

Actually, I'm unaware of *any* vitamin that can't be obtained through
low carb sources. But then, I've taken supplements since I was a kid,
took 'em all through my low fat/high carb days, so it never occurred to
me to stop when I went low carb.

If you can identify a vitamin or mineral that can't be obtained through
low carb sources, I'd be very interested to hear about it.
