Plasma Vitamin C Levels in a Group of Children before and after Dietetic Adjustment
Summary and Conclusions
- 1. Low levels of plasma Vitamin C was an outstanding finding in a nutrition survey of a rural North Carolina community. This was correlated with a low intake of Vitamin C rich foods.
- 2. Striking gains in Vitamin C plasma levels occurred in a group of 34 children when given an adequate but low cost diet over a period of six weeks.
- 3. It is concluded that the low levels initially found in these children, and in the survey group, are not normal but represent the result of inadequate intake of Vitamin C over varying periods.
