People on meatcentric diets don't get scurvy because they don't need as much vitamin C as people on Western diets because glucose and Vitamin C compete for uptake in our cells! Look how similar they are!
Also, vitamin C is in beef but it's not listed in the USDA database because they never tasted for it. 🤦♂️
Sailors on long voyages got scurvy because they dried their meat. Drying meat kills off vit C.
One argument for fruit because sailors started bringing citrus fruits.
I'm sure hardtack played a large role.
"they never tasted for it". Best typo of the day! 😂
I don't get it are you saying that the body gets glucose instead of vitamin c because it's similar?
Imagine 200 people trying to get into a movie theater but there's only 100 seats. Half of the people are glucose and half are vitamin C... so at least half the Vitamin C aren't getting in.
