Popis:	Previous research suggests 20% of omnivores and 40% of vegetarians do not consume enough vitamin B12. The contribution of seafood to dietary B12 intake stratified by frequency of seafood consumption and B12 status of young adults was assessed. Seafood was the greatest contributor to B12 intake (31%) among nonvegetarians, and intake comparisons based on frequency of seafood consumption revealed that frequent seafood consumers had higher (p < 0.001) B12 intakes. None of the frequent seafood consumers had suboptimal status, which occurred mainly in subjects consuming seafood < 1 time/month and vegetarians. Our findings suggest that modest seafood intake contributes to maintaining normal B12 status.
