So on one hand we need all the vitamins and minerals, and on the other I haven’t seen that many people with scurvy or beriberi, so at least some must be extremely plentiful in our food. So which vitamin and mineral deficiencies are actually common in people following Western diet, and which we don’t need to concern ourselves about?

    I swear to god I was suffering from scurvy, or at least Vitamin C deficiency. I had incredible cravings for broccoli, orange juice, pineapple on pizza, potatoes. Even though citrus flavored sodas didn’t have Vitamin C, I gulped them down. I wanted to live every day just eating burgers and hot dogs though. I felt like crap everyday.

    I’m eating fruits now everyday, and I’m getting better. I feel better already, and the cravings have gone away. Barracuda
