[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1615835, member: 6467"] With respect I think this is misleading, because there is at least one fine example of a European living for a full year with the Inuit eating the same diet as them and surviving and thriving. I suspect that the Inuit also have/had some access to Vitamin C through berries traded from further South. As far as I know not all Inuit lived their lives 100% ice bound. The sometimes reliable Wikipedia says: "[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin']Vitamins[/URL] and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_(nutrient)']minerals[/URL] which are typically derived from plant sources are nonetheless present in most Inuit diets. Vitamins [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_A']A[/URL] and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D']D[/URL] are present in the oils and livers of cold-water fishes and mammals. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_C']Vitamin C[/URL] is obtained through sources such as caribou liver, [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelp']kelp[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muktuk']whale skin[/URL], and seal brain; because these foods are typically eaten raw or frozen, the vitamin C they contain, which would be destroyed by cooking, is instead preserved."
