Vitamin B12 is one of the most controversial members of the vitamin
family collectively referred to as the "B-complex" vitamins. Although
the full chemical structure of B12 was not identified until the 1960s,
two Nobel Prizes have already been awarded for research involving this
vitamin. The first of these Nobel Prizes, awarded in 1934, involved the
discovery that a food (liver, a very rich source of B12) could be used

carry oxygen) called pernicious anemia. The second came thirty years later when chemists figured out the exact structure of this important vitamin.
