English sailors used to be called Limeys, because the British admiralty ordered a daily ration of lime juice to prevent scurvy. What ingredient of lime juice prevents this disease? Why was scurvy a serious problem for sailors? Fat-soluble vitamins, for example, vitamin doses, whereas water-soluble vitamins are not. What do you think account for the difference?
