The research referenced shows that it is imperative that all women thinking about becoming pregnant have a reliable source of B12 in their diet. I do want to clarify that leafy green vegetables are not a reliable source of B12. Supplements or supplemented foods such as cereals, plant milks, and meat substitutes are reliable sources.
