So, does this mean we know that she doesn't have a B12 deficiency, and it's all for "convenience"? Heck, I wonder if we would term it "convenience" for the PETA crowd that don't eat any meat.

"There is no reason why multivitamin and mineral injections should be any more beneficial than supplements and may indeed be dangerous."

Gee, Claire...never heard of pernicious anemia? Hint, it's called pernicious because you can die from it, and taking supplements orally doesn't help. And it's not from body-fat levels.

Not that I'm a big Madonna apologist, but this is a very poorly written story.

Oh, sure that is so common that people are injecting themselves all over the world in public every hour of the day.

She isn’t going to keel over from scurvy on an airline flight for christsakes.

It is bizarre behavior, and poorly thought.

Although not uncommon in the circles of the wealthy insane.

I just saw my doc yesterday. He is testing me for B12 deficiency. According to him, shots are the only thing that will work for B12 def. He said I could drink gallons of sublingual B12, and it wouldn’t do me any good because there is some sort of enzyme that either must be made to absorb it or that inhibits absorption, I forget which one.

I am not a Madonna fan either, BTW.
