Re: ecornell certificate in plant-based nutrition
Ah, I've heard of this. I didn't realize it was Cornell.
It's T. Colin Campbell. So, any criticism applying to him may apply to that as well. He leans toward the starch based stuff.
Low carb is bad when it means high meat, but I don't believe there's any evidence against a low carb vegan diet. Vegetable fats and proteins are quite healthy, and may represent a more nutritious diet than that advocated by high carb gurus. I lean more toward advocating the advice of Fuhrman than the starch guys (Campbell and McDougall) -- like my being anti-rice, and more pro-beans and larger amounts of greens.

Advice on B-12 is sound, though.
I haven't heard anything bad in particular, I just don't know quite what it contains.
Since the certification may be useful to you at work, and it's relatively cheap... I'd say do it (I would, in your position). Doesn't look like it takes a very long time either.
Maybe you can give us details on it as you take it, and we can have a really good review for others if they decide they're interested in it.
