EFFECTS OF VITAMINS
We know that the body needs small but important amounts of minerals and vitamins besides the long recognized carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. There are lots of these vitamins and they can all be taken in our food and drink, but no one food has them all or even most of them. Hence the dangers of special diets and the sure-fire advantages of well-balanced diets.
The name vitamin is a recent one and it is not a correct one at that. Casimir Funk, who coined the name in 1911, found that these substances are essential to life, hence the first syllable of the name, vit-, as in vital. He then decided that the belong to the group of proteins which is called amines. Mr. Funk was wrong here. The vitamins are proteins, but they are not amines. Nevertheless, it makes a good word and it’s here to stay.
Some of the effects of lack of vitamins were known long, long ago. It is over two hundred years since it was first recognized that scurvy is due to a lack of fresh vegetables and greens. A short while after this discovery, Captain Cook, the famous English navigator, made his voyage around the world and by taking advantage of this knowledge kept his men healthy. He also carried a supply of lemons. With the idea that it was limes that were used, the name “limey” has stuck to the English sailor ever since.
What seems to me the best description ever given of a vitamin deficiency was told in Dana’s Two Years Before the Mast.
The scurvy had begun to show itself on board. One man had it so badly as to be disabled and off duty, and the English lad, Ben, was in a dreadful state, and was daily growing worse. His legs swelled and pained him so that he could not walk; his flesh lost its elasticity, so that if pressed it would not return to its shape; and his gums swelled until he could not open his mouth. His breath, too, became very offensive; he lost all strength and spirit; could eat nothing; grew worse every day; and, in fact, unless something was done for him, would be a dead man in a week, at the rate at which he was sinking? The next morning we spoke the brig Solon from the Connecticut River and got from them . . . half a boatload of potatoes and onions. . . . We carried them forward . . . ate them raw, with our beef and bread. And a glorious treat they were! The freshness and crispness of the raw onion, with the earthy taste, give it a great relish to one who has been a long time on salt provisions. We were ravenous after them. . . . The chief use, however, of the fresh provisions, was for the men with the scurvy. One of them was able to eat, and he soon brought himself to, by gnawing upon raw potatoes and onions; but the other, by this time, was hardly able to open his mouth, and the cook took the potatoes raw, pounded them in a mortar, and gave him the juice to drink. . . . This course soon restored his appetite and strength, and in ten days after we spoke the Solon, so rapid was his recovery that, from lying helpless and almost hopeless in his berth, he was at the masthead, furling a royal.
The unknown miracle worker then was the now familiar Vitamin C.
