You know, sailors used to get scurvy because of C deficiency back a couple centuries ago. Vitamin C degrades really easily, but is there any way you can store it long term other than pills or tablets? I’m just wondering if it would have been possible to do this in the past with the technology that was available.

    Almost everything has vitamin C. Except for water, sand and anchovies.

      I’m surprised by anchovies lacking it but you appear to be correct, even for raw anchovies. I tried looking at a handful of other raw fish and they also have no vitamin C.

      I guess that makes sense, if fish could supply vitamin C I can’t imagine scurvy would’ve been a problem for long.

        Stupid jokes with a little bit of factual information are the good type of jokes.
