Hmmmmm.
Reminds me, I should probably increase my citrus intake.

If you have potatoes or onions in your diet, you're probably safe.
It's hilariously easy to not get scurvy unless you're on a 18th century ship, an arctic expedition, or trying to get it.

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.

Got you, 5 servings of fries a day it is.

This is the kind of medical advice I like.

Legend has it that you can drink beer instead. A decent IPA should do it, or a bunch of decent IPAs and you won’t care

No I sort of meant more fruits in general

Like a cocktail or something?
