I think Cracker was just trying to outline how stupid it is for Babs to say the stuff she's been saying...
She relies heavily on data that was derived from the very beginning of mankinds thinking mind, when we were at our most basic stage of thinking, instead of trust the actual accurate, testable, provable methods we have today.
I don't understand why someone would choose to believe ancient ANYTHING when modern science and modern technology has PROVEN it to be false... I simply don't get it..., it's gotta be the fear right?
Ok, I get it, I can understand where you are coming from in a sense, I was just addressing the notion that's all...., I get at what you are saying tho'Yes.... all of these beliefs are from a ppl trying to explain their environment....as all religions seek to do.
So unless you are Jewish.... why cop that religion?
Know why? because that religion, more than ther rest which were skipped over, got to a place of real power.
If the Nordic G*DS were chosen by Constantine, you would be sitting here today telling me Odin and Thor are REAL.

I believe this is where you would say "FAIL"?
Not every environment man lived in would provide the necessary vitamins. That's why trade became very important to civilization.
Instead, here's a list of common diseases caused by vitamin deficiencies.
Rickets.
Scurvy.
Beriberi.
Goiter.
Pellagra.
Anemia.
Oddly enough, when searching for vitamin deficiencies in prehistoric man, one of the top hits was some creationist propaganda saying that evolution isn't possible because these vitamin deficiencies just make human skeletons look strange, and all the transitional fossils are just sick people.
Wow.
ooooooOOOOOooooOOOOoo GAAaaaWWWDD, you see why I said you need to Reel your people in...., I thought about it and said NO, but I'll do it anyway, but primarily it's all MALNUTRITION, but almost none of the stuff you just listed is even remotely related to food items that were not accessible....I'll Address them for YOU, since you need some attention....
Rickets is a softening of bones in children potentially leading to fractures and deformity. Rickets is among the most frequent childhood diseases in many developing countries. The predominant cause is a vitamin D deficiency, but lack of adequate calcium in the diet may also lead to rickets (cases of severe diarrhea and vomiting may be the cause of the deficiency). Although it can occur in adults, the majority of cases occur in children suffering from severe malnutrition, usually resulting from famine or starvation during the early stages of childhood. (guess this was absent then due to 7-11 & Wal Mart being out of Walking distance to grab a gallon of milk)
Scurvy is a disease resulting from a deficiency of vitamin C, which is required for the synthesis of collagen in humans. Scurvy was at one time common among sailors, pirates and others aboard ships at sea longer than perishable fruits and vegetables could be stored, and by soldiers similarly separated from these foods for extended periods (yeah, this explains it all, The whole Noahs Ark thang, They brought Two of Everythang, and forgot the fucking Fruit)
Beriberi is caused by a lack of thiamine (vitamin B1). Thiamin occurs naturally in unrefined cereals and fresh foods, particularly whole grain bread, fresh meat, legumes, green vegetables, fruit, and milk. Beriberi is therefore common in people whose diet excludes these particular types of nutrition e.g. as a result of famine ( Yep, your on to something, no Frosted Flakes back then, what would we ever do without Tony the Tiger)
A goitre (BrE), or goiter (AmE) (Latin gutteria, struma), also called a bronchocele, is a swelling in the thyroid gland,[1] which can lead to a swelling of the neck or larynx (voice box). Goitre usually occurs when the thyroid gland is not functioning properly. Worldwide, the most common cause for goiter is iodine deficiency ( Yep, you still nailing'em, everybody had the Frog Throat, it was the fashion statement of the time...., What? Did somebody say Fish? )
Pellagra is a vitamin deficiency disease most commonly caused by a chronic lack of niacin (vitamin B3) in the diet. Pellagra can be common in people who obtain most of their food energy from maize (often called "corn"), notably rural South America where maize is a staple food.
Pellagra can develop according to several mechanisms, all of which ultimately revolve around niacin deficiency. The first is simple dietary lack of niacin. Second, it may result from deficiency of tryptophan,[1] an essential amino acid found in soybeans, meat, poultry, fish, and eggs[13] that the body converts into niacin. (we'll just pretend we didn't see that, but Sure corn was the Staple Year round food back Then...,)
Anemia (pronounced /əˈniːmiə/, also spelled anaemia or anæmia; from Ancient Greek ἀναιμία anaimia, meaning "lack of blood") is a decrease in normal number of red blood cells (RBCs) or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood.[1][2] However, it can include decreased oxygen-binding ability of each hemoglobin molecule due to deformity or lack in numerical development as in some other types of hemoglobin deficiency. Iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia overall and it has many causes..
Iron deficiency anemia is caused by insufficient dietary intake or absorption of iron to replace losses from menstruation or losses due to diseases.[11] Iron is an essential part of hemoglobin, and low iron levels result in decreased incorporation of hemoglobin into red blood cells. In the United States, 20% of all women of childbearing age have iron deficiency anemia, compared with only 2% of adult men. The principal cause of iron deficiency anemia in premenopausal women is blood lost during menses. Studies[who?] have shown that iron deficiency without anemia causes poor school performance and lower IQ in teenage girls. Iron deficiency is the most prevalent deficiency state on a worldwide basis. Iron deficiency is sometimes the cause of abnormal fissuring of the angular (corner) sections of the lips (angular stomatitis).
Iron deficiency anemia can also be due to bleeding lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. Fecal occult blood testing, upper endoscopy and lower endoscopy should be performed to identify bleeding lesions. In men and post-menopausal women the chances are higher that bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract could be due to colon polyp or colorectal cancer.
Worldwide, the most common cause of iron deficiency anemia is parasitic infestation (hookworm, amebiasis, schistosomiasis and whipworm).[12 (well, IMO, this is about the strongest case you have, they all just ignored the Blood in their Shit, and said man Up, I have a job to do, or simply ignored consuming the food groups that contained Iron like)
Good sources of dietary iron include red meat, fish, poultry, lentils, beans, leaf vegetables, tofu, chickpeas, black-eyed peas, fortified bread, and fortified breakfast cereals..
The point is, Man's diet hasn't changed, and Man understood the importance of an balance diet and the effects certain foods had on the body in relation to diseases, that goes all the Way back to Ancient Egypt, so to presume everything related to some kind of Vitamin Deficiency is False.., and you once again have
FAILED..FLoppED....FUMble RUeSKY...FAIl, faIL, Fail, you are A FAILURE.
Just Live With iT....,
B vitamins are particularly concentrated in meat, and other good sources are potatoes, bananas, lentils, chile peppers, tempeh, beans, liver oil, liver, turkey, tuna, nutritional yeast, brewer's yeast, and molasses.That particular area has been studied thoroughly and the type of foods that the primitives ate back then were deficient in Vitamin B. One of the side effects of Vitamin B def, is hallucinations, both visual, and auditory.
There's ur Bible miracles..... malnutrition. It was quite common.
You were doing good at Hello, maybe that's why you never get a Second Date..
like I said Malnutrition probably, not because Trade became an importance, everybody likes shit they don't already have, and if it was important, it's because they knew the importance of that food item, but to say it's all because a lack of Vitamins, due to lack of resources is
Crazy/Diseased wasn't Normal or, accepted then and it's not Normal Now.. Wait....., I take that back, I don't want to discriminate against anybody on here..
