===History of promotional marketing===
Once discovered, vitamins were actively promoted in articles and advertisements in ''[[McCall's]]'', ''[[Good Housekeeping]]'', and other media outlets. Marketers enthusiastically promoted [[cod-liver oil]], a source of vitamin D, as "bottled sunshine", and bananas as a "natural vitality food". They promoted foods such as [[yeast]] cakes, a source of B vitamins, on the basis of scientifically determined nutritional value, rather than taste or appearance. In 1942, when flour [[food fortification|enrichment]] with nicotinic acid began, a headline in the popular press said "Tobacco in Your Bread." In response, the Council on Foods and Nutrition of the [[American Medical Association]] approved of the [[Food and Nutrition Board]]'s new names ''niacin'' and ''niacin amide'' for use primarily by non-scientists. It was thought appropriate to choose a name to dissociate nicotinic acid from [[nicotine]], to avoid the perception that vitamins or niacin-rich food contains nicotine, or that cigarettes contain vitamins. The resulting name ''niacin'' was derived from ''{{strong|ni}}cotinic {{strong|ac}}id'' + ''vitam{{strong|in}}''. Researchers also focused on the need to ensure adequate nutrition, especially to compensate for what was lost in the manufacture of [[processed foods]].
