<p><b>New page</b></p><div>In 1747, the [[Scotland|Scottish]] [[surgeon]] [[James Lind (physician)|James Lind]] discovered that [[citrus]] foods helped prevent scurvy, a particularly deadly disease in which [[collagen]] is not properly formed, causing poor wound healing, bleeding of the [[gingiva|gums]], severe pain, and death. In 1753, Lind published his ''Treatise on the Scurvy'', which recommended using [[lemon]]s and [[Lime (fruit)|lime]]s to avoid [[scurvy]], which was adopted by the British [[Royal Navy]]. This led to the nickname ''[[limey]]'' for British sailors. However, during the 19th century, limes grown in the West Indies were substituted for lemons; these were subsequently found to be much lower in vitamin C. As a result, Arctic expeditions continued to be plagued by scurvy and other [[deficiency disease]]s. In the early 20th century, when [[Robert Falcon Scott]] made his two expeditions to the [[Antarctic]], the prevailing medical theory was that scurvy was caused by "tainted" [[canning|canned food]].</div>FuzzyBot
