Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the causes of rickets, a childhood disease involving defective bone formation that was widespread at the time of writing. The author explores the impact of diet on the disease, with particular attention to the role of fats and vitamins. The author argues that, contrary to popular belief, calcium deficiency is not the primary cause of rickets. Instead, he suggests that a deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins, particularly Vitamin A, plays a crucial role. The book presents evidence from animal experiments demonstrating the protective effects of cod liver oil and other fats against rickets. The author also discusses the broader historical and scientific context of rickets, highlighting the importance of understanding the disease in the context of the nutritional challenges faced by populations at the time. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of the author's findings for preventing and treating rickets, a disease that continues to affect children worldwide.
