I would have to agree with that statement. But I was not referring to 'pure' spring water. Rather the stuff you scoop up with your hands from the stream while out in the woods.

I agree that that is a very debatable claim. But there is logic to it. The B12 is produced by bacteria that live in the soil. And, if it's in the soil (which apparently, in natural environments, it is), then it will also be in the water...
... But, no, I would not stake my nervous system on that. I take a supplement.
