Hello Jean-Louis!! In a message dated 97-11-21 14:27:38 EST, you write: > << Liza wrote: > "Almost all cases of anemia and B-12 deficiency occur in meat-eaters, not > vegetarians or frugivores."" As a mathematician, I can't resist remarking that the assertions: 1- "almost cases of B-12 deficiency occur among meat-eaters" 2- "almost all frugivores are B-12 deficient" do not contradict each other, given the small number of frugivores.>> You are certainly right!! They don't contradict each other at all!! I wanted to make clear that it was not I that made the statements above!! This was a post on another list, which I forwarded to this list, because it did not make sense to me. Ward mentions the study these statements were based on. I'm glad you are a mathematician! Tons of fun!! ~~ Liza
