This reminds me, on the realmilk.com website Sally claims that

vitamins B12 and B6 are destroyed by pasteurization. I've read

elsewhere that B6 is easily destroyed by heat, but B12? Wouldn't lots

of people whose animal foods are cooked meats, eggs and pasteurized

milk have B12 deficiencies? I tried to find out at what temperature

B12 is destroyed, but couldn't find anything and haven't gotten around

to doing more research. Does anyone have a reference for this?

I'm also disturbed by the some of the questionable sources and shaky

evidence on the WAPF site. I hate to make a big deal about it because

I think the WAPF is basically correct in most of what it advocates,

and because more mainstream nutrition books and websites (and plenty

of peer-reviewed studies) get away with far worse. It is a problem

though, and it makes it really easy for people to dismiss the rest of

what the WAPF has to say. I think it would be worthwhile to email

Sally whenever we notice claims that don't make sense or the use of

really bad sources. It might not have much of an effect at first, but

if she starts to see that we expect evidence from reliable sources to

back up any claim, her standards of what constitutes good evidence

might gradually improve.
