Abstract
THE authors of the preceding communication state that “According to them [Heathcote and Mooney], vitamin B12 is absorbed as either small peptide or amino-acid units”. We trust that this misinterpretation of our actual beliefs is due to lingual difficulty and does not imply that we believe in the peptide or amino-acid nature of vitamin B12 itself.
