Every individual is different. During my research (admittedly limited) into
vitamins and minerals, I ran across several sources that indicated that
excess or deficiency of one or more B vitamins can cause absorption problems
in the assimilation and metabolism of members of the B vitamin complex. I
suspect that the excess or deficiency would have to be moderate to severe
for more than a very brief period. But again, every person is different.
That's why I wanted to stress the importance of eating a varied diet--to
ensure the widest possible exposure to vital nutrients.
