B12 in Rain Water ...?

[Catsgalour]

Hi Everyone Was listening to the Steve Wright show this afternoon and they do a Facto type thing. He said Rain water is packed with B12 ... !! Wow I thought! If this is true perhaps we should be collecting it to drink or something ..? Any Thoughts Folks ..

I have read that algae which will develop in rain water, do contain vitamin B12 , but it's not in a form that can benefit us . So no, don't bother drinking rain water!

Ive always been warned off rainwater even from a child due to the toxins in it

Sad to think what should be Pure has Toxins in it? Learn a little bit more all the time on this site .. ? Used to be told Rain water was good for rinsing hair.. but probably a myth as well!

came across this letter to nature

nature.com/nature/journal/v...

however, doubt the amounts are particularly significant and whilst they might be enough for someone with no absorption problem they are unlikely to do anything for anyone with an absorption problem.

Interesting Letter ...Thanks for that! Did think it would be a bit of a miracle if we could just drink it but interesting Fact!
