The Claim
Elevated vitamin B12 levels are inconsistently or not clearly associated with all-cause mortality in adults.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Having higher levels of vitamin B12 in your blood doesn't clearly make you live longer or shorter — studies just can't agree on whether it matters at all.
