The war is far from over

Quote:Hang on, hang on...you said your gums started to bleed? Errr...doesn't that mean you were starting to get scurvy?
Nope, not that and neither gingivitis. My gums bled when I brushed my teeth after 3 weeks of having eaten practically nothing and have been a whole week on a strict diet with zero vitamin C (as you can imagine, after a gastroenteritis lemons (the fruit), oranges and such were strictly forbidden). But just after I took a gram of vitamin C in a single dose, they didn't bleed anymore. To have a severe lack of vitamin C you need to be 20 to 30 weeks without taking any.
Quote:Not scurvy, gingivitis. Which is not as bad for you and far more common.
Not as bad? You can lose all your teeth for it.
