The great falling off in supplies of fresh fruit, particularly of oranges, has led to the fear that the diets of young children may be deficient in vitamin C. The accompanying tables show that without any fruit at all, the diets suggested contain an amount of vitamin C nearly 65 per cent. above requirements. The main sources are potatoes and vegetables, and it follows that if sufficient amounts of these foods are consumed there can be no fear of scurvy, provided they are prepared and cooked in the proper way (see Appendix III). When fresh fruit becomes available younger children should naturally be given a preference.
