SCURVY, arrrrrggggghhhh Options

[impala454]

so i've been running ragged lately, been a little out of energy. with me leaving my company, everyone has been taking me out to eat and i realized i can't recall the last time i had a piece of fruit. made me think of scurvy, and looked it up and saw this article and thought it was interesting.

Nearly one-quarter -- 23% -- of males aged 25 to 44 were vitamin C deficient

i'm no low carb dieter or anything, but i defintely don't eat enough fruit (heh... like none). i guess i could get a multivitamin but i'm the type that would rather get the stuff from food than a pill.

unless your teeth are falling out and you're bleeding from the gums, you're probably more paranoid than scurvy

well i didn't really mean, "hey i have scurvy" so much as, i could have a few symptoms. the teeth falling out thing is at a very last stage I think, although my gums do bleed fairly easily when i brush. it probably is also any side effects simply from not eating much fruit, all the other vitamins or whatever you don't normally get.
