Current research on B12 vitamin?

Alzheimer's Disease: People with Alzheimer's disease often have low levels of vitamin B12: whether the low vitamin levels are cause or results of this disease is unclear.

Heart Disease: Low intake of vitamin B12 might increase blood levels of protein called homocysteine, which increases the risk for developing heart disease.
