What better time to explain scurvy (a very gross disease) - than right after my paean to the 18th century orange?
Learn it's causes, what it looks like, how to prevent and how to cure it - including, eat your cabbage!
This is the first in what will be an ongoing series in the diseases of deprivation that haunt us humans. Stay tuned for the greatest hits that includes things like pellagra, rickets and goiter! And become much more grateful for some of the food additives and cooking rules that are part of our daily lives - now that food prep is considered "so easy anyone can do it".
