    Let’s correct the headline to poor eating habits/diet led to vitamin B12 deficiency, causing delusions.

    Because I haven’t eaten meat in 35 years, and haven’t had any dairy, eggs, etc (vegan) in at least 5 years, and my B12 is fine.

      Exactly. One of the first things you learn when you switch to a plant based diet is to be mindful you’re getting enough B12 and D.

      My B12 was fine, whereas my omni family had low levels and my grandma needed injections due to her age. My D was low, but my omni family had very low levels. Bad diets are bad diets, whether they include animal products or not.
