Q. Obviously Bread (grain) is not sufficient, as you will die from scurvy (Vitamin C deficiency) and a lot of other issues.
Say there are no more grocery stores and you need to grow your own food. What will you eat?
EXAMPLE LIST (not a real list, just an example so you understand what I'm asking):
* beans
* peppers
* tomatoes
* rice
* grains
* nuts
* etc.
The Irish ate more than JUST potatoes.

A. If I had to grow my own food I would have:
- Potatoes, onions, carrots (easy to grow, easy to store throughout winter, and potatoes provide carbs without needing to bother with grains which are more of a hassle ie you need a mill etc etc)
- Pumpkin and marrows (VERY easy to grow and also to collect seeds for next season, also provides late autumn vitamin C)
- Fruit trees (which kind would depend on where I was, but for example apples, pears, cherries)
- Garlic (good for you, tastes nice, and also keeps pests off other crops, which since there are no grocery stores in this scenario means there will also be nowhere to buy pesticides)
- Tomatoes (various varieties that can be grown throughout the summer and also lots of nutrients)
- Cabbages (I don't really like them, but it's one of the only ways to get vit C in winter other than stored root vegetables)
- Animals for protein, probably something relatively fecund like guinea pigs/rabbits and also normal pigs (I don't think I could live without bacon). Maybe goats as well, they're pretty hardy and they will eat anything.
- Chickens for eggs (more protein)
- Bees for honey (source of sugar) and also to pollinate the fruit trees
- A cow for milk

Is it possible to bake a loaf of bread around an orange?
Q. My friend has a serious vitamin c deficiency, get sick all the time, and loves bread of all kinds. For her birthday we usually get her a really nice loaf of bread along w/other things. It's coming up on her birthday and she's sick yet again. This year we wanted to play a bit of a prank on her by baking whole oranges into bread. If there is anyway this is possible I'd love to know. It doesn't necessarily need to be edible either, but if it was, it would help.
A. It is edible,if you have organic oranges.Wash them and form the dough around them so that they are completely covered.I'd bake on some degrees lower temperature than usual because otherwise the juice inside the orange might cook and they'd burst.Bread will get a slight taste of orange.But it's not really fair to play a prank on someone who's ill.Why not buy her dozens of packs hot lemon or vitamin pills?You can get it in the health section of supermarkets,it's a somehow disappointing present,too,but much less work.

Q. my baby is just 5months old and i understand that vitamin c deficiency can cause impare mental growth?
A.
If cholestoral is so bad for you, how come the body produces it?
Q. A vitamin C deficiency leads to a breakdown in the arterial walls, due to a lack of repair options. The liver produces cholestoral to plug the cracks, so blood doesn't start leaking through the coronary artery walls. So why is cholestoral considered bad when it's saving your life?
A. You've hit on an important topic, because there is some research coming out now, that seems to indicate our thinking on this has been backward;
it is a MARKER for something bad happening, but it's not actually the CAUSE of the problem.
In other words, yes, high levels in your bloodstream are connected to heart disease, etc., but that doesn't mean it's causative.
So, to take Statins, etc., to cut down on the levels, may be actually harming you.
And you're a bit off on the Vitamin C thing; yes, SCURVY causes the lesions you're talking about, but that is not 'mild' Vitamin C deficiency, that is ACUTE deficiency.
Eating too much saturated fats, and not exercising enough is by far the biggest causes of lesions inside your arteries.
And taking megadoses of Vitamin C has not been proven to help anyone in any way, incidentally.
