    Like, I’m fairly sensitive to anti-white prejudice. Not because white people are some oppressed minority, but because it absolutely gets tiring having to justify your own existence for being born. But this? Man, this is the equivalent of “Americans like hamburgers” or “German humor is no laughing matter”. It’s okay to embrace a little absurdity, as long as it’s not taken seriously by you or by your society.

    Looks like I’m in the clear!

    Unironically probably yes, even if that was all your intake. The amount of Vitamin C you need to prevent scurvy is incredibly small. It really is a disease you can’t get unless you’re trying for it anymore. Like, fries and onion rings have like 2 mg of Vitamin C per serving, and you only need 10 mg a day to stave off scurvy.

    Well, the reduced effectiveness was noticed. It created significant uncertainty, funny enough, over the actual causes of scurvy, since apparently citrus fruit wasn’t enough, until more rigorous studies happened in the 20th century.
