unusual facts about B-vitamins



Bernard L. Oser

His research during this time focused on biological and chemical assays on vitamins, proteins, and other nutrient; pharmaceutical vitamin fortification, stabilization, and availability; toxicology and safety evaluation of food additives, drugs, pesticides, and related chemicals; and the scientific aspects of food law and regulations.

British Military Rations during the French and Indian War

During the French and Indian War, British military rations contained enough food energy to sustain the soldier in garrison but suffered from a lack of vitamins that could lead to nutritional deficiencies if not supplemented by the soldiers themselves through garden produce or purchase.

Ed Gantner

During this time, he began casting about for solutions and new truths—meditation, vitamins, even faith healing with Rev. Benny Hinn.

Endive

Endive is rich in many vitamins and minerals, especially in folate and vitamins A and K, and is high in fiber.

Frölich Peak

The peak was charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 for Theodor C.B. Frölich, a Norwegian biochemist who in 1907, with Axel Holst, first produced experimental scurvy and laid the foundations for later work on vitamins.

Gowland

Frederick Gowland Hopkins OM FRS (1861–1947), English biochemist awarded a Nobel Prize in 1929 for the discovery of vitamins

Holst Point

It was first charted by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, 1934–37, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 for Axel Holst, a Norwegian biochemist who in 1907, with Theodor C.B. Frölich, first produced experimental scurvy and laid the foundations for later work on vitamins.

Kostroma Moose Farm

The milk, reported to be rich in vitamins and microelements and to be useful for the treatment of peptic ulcers, radiation lesions and some other conditions is supplied to the nearby Ivan Susanin Sanatorium.

Matthias Rath

Ragnar Berg

Translated by Cedar and Eden Paul as Vitamins; a critical survey of the theory of accessory food factors.

Richard Kuhn

Kuhn's areas of study included: investigations of theoretical problems of organic chemistry (stereochemistry of aliphatic and aromatic compounds; syntheses of polyenes and cumulenes; constitution and colour; the acidity of hydrocarbons), as well as extensive fields in biochemistry (carotenoids; flavins; vitamins and enzymes).

Stampede Light

Stampede Light PLUS (Stampede Beer) is the first government approved beer with added B-vitamins.

Tocopherol

During feeding experiments with rats Herbert McLean Evans concluded in 1922 that besides vitamins B and C, an unknown vitamin existed.
