-Never assume soy milk is adequate substitute in stem unless says its fortified (Fortified has Ca, Vit D, Vit B12) -Soy products also contain linolenic acid (precursor for EPA/DHA), more usable protein and more concentrated energy -Fermented soy products contain zinc Eggs: Vit B12, LCFA w-3FA (EPA/DHA) Green leafy: Vit A, Calcium COUNSEL Lacto-ovo-vegetarians can obtain B12 from dairy products and eggs if consumed regularly [7]. Breast milk of strict vegan mothers can be low in B12 ; therefore, their infants should be supplemented [43].
