        VITAMINS - THE MERITS OF FOOD RICH IN VITAMIN ?
In order to show someone how important it is to prevent vitamin ? deficiency, we would do well to refer to Captain Cook's famous experience. Realising the disastrous effect of a lack of vitamin ? in the diet, and to guarantee the success of his expeditions, he carried on board whole barrels of sauerkraut. His farsightedness spared him and his crew from falling victim to scurvy. Every 100 g (about ??2 oz) of sauerkraut contains approximately 20 mg of vitamin C, about the same proportion as in raw potatoes, but the latter, of course, are less palatable when uncooked.
The symptoms and consequences of vitamin ? deficiency are muscular weakness, bleeding under the skin, bleeding of the gums and loosening of the teeth, which can even fall out. Resistance to infectious diseases is greatly reduced and susceptibility to catarrh, sore throats and tonsillitis, pneumonia and pleurisy is considerably increased. The capillaries are weakened and damaged, severely affecting the circulation.
