>As vitamin B12, cyanide is part of the human diet helping to prevent anemia.
Vitamin B12 is not cyanide, it is cobalamin (or cyanocobalamin.) B12 is not
available from *any* plant source, only from dairy or meat. There are no known
precautions for B12, and the only interactions are: megadoses of vitamin C can
decrease B12 absorption; B12 can mask a Folic Acid (another B vitamin) deficiency;
and the drug Omeprazole can mask a B12 deficiency.
Just so people don't become unneccisarily afraid of their vitamin-fortified
breakfast cereal :) (there are enough other reasons to be afraid of your breakfast
cereal...)
