All three vitamins, A, B and C, are present in small amounts in fresh lean meat; liver contains more of them. Other foodstuffs contain even more, it is true, but if the men were allowed all they wanted to eat, they would get enough of the essential vitamins in the beef products to satisfy. The real interest in such an experiment lies in the effect of a meat...
