As I looked at slashdot.org today. I saw a message yesterday about the 
possible patent violation when  a lack of B12 to homocysteine is mentioned.

Here is the wikipedia article that follow the claim: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegan_nutrition
The quote is simple: "Vitamin B12 destroys Homocysteine, a neurotoxin 
the body naturally produces."
The patent would make it invalid to include such claim without royalty.

The news article is entitled "The essay breaks the law" by Michael Crichton.

Freakin' POV pushers!
