Do Poles face scurvy?
Poles are eating fewer and fewer potatoes - before 1997 they were the main source of vitamin C in nutrition. Today, we prefer to eat rice, pasta, groats, or skip starchy additives for dinner. At the same time, due to high prices of vegetables and fruits, Poles have reduced their consumption. Will scurvy come back?

I doubt it. Despite the decrease in potato consumption, it seems to me that the consumption of fruits and other vegetables has not changed much, so we still supply vitamin C to the body. In addition, there is an increasing awareness in society about processed food, and the trend is shifting in favor of preparing meals at home.

Vitamin C - also known as ascorbic acid - is a preservative added to food, including juices, ketchup, and purees. Scurvy is not a threat to us because we have a lot of this acid in our diet.
However, we are at risk of… hypertension (salt), atherosclerosis (fats), diabetes (sugars: sucrose, maltose, lactose, galactose), lung problems (PM10 concentration - suspended particles), epileptic seizures (brain overactivity - too much information to process, as well as lack of appropriate fats in the diet and lots of sugar), thyroid problems (stress-related diseases), and many, many other things...
