| Description | Produced for the Food Committee, from 'recent unpublished researches...carried out at the Lister Institute.' Intro states that it is applicable to Allied troops 'about to spend the coming winter in North Russia, Siberia and other localities' -- notes that recent research shows there is no evidence for the preventative properties of lime juice, despite historical uses, and that lemon juice is vastly superior -- that meat has antiscorbutic properties only when consumed fresh in large quantities -- that potatoes and vegetables have some value, as do pulses that are allowed to germinate. Recommends replacing the lime juice ration with lemon, introducing germinated beans and pulses into the ration, and enforcing cooking methods that do not destroy antiscorbutics. |
