Vitamin B Prevents Beri Beri Across Diets and Regions
Dr Logan Clendening reviews beri-beri linked to nerve degeneration and diet. He cites cases on ships with no whole meal bread, prisons with white bread, and a 1910 Labrador shipwreck with whole meal flour preventing cases. He notes alcoholic neuritis improves with Vitamin B and warns yeast based drinks raise infant beri-beri when prohibited. Editor’s note offers pamphlets for a penny and 10 cents each.
