It is a story of sailors and soldiers, penniless mothers, orphaned infants, and young children left susceptible to blindness and fatal infections. We also glimpse the fortunate ones who, with ample vitamin A-rich food, escaped this elusive stalker. Why were people going blind and dying? To unravel this puzzle, scientists around the world competed over the course of a century. Their persistent efforts led to the identification of vitamin A and its essential role in health. As a primary focus of today's international public health efforts, vitamin A has saved hundreds of thousands of lives. But, we discover, they could save many more were it not for obstacles erected by political and ideological zealots who lack a historical perspective of the problem. 410 0$aWorld Review of Nutrition and Dietetics 606 $aVitamin A deficiency$xHistory 606 $aVitamin A$xHistory 606 $aHistory, 19th Century 606 $aNight Blindness$xhistory 606 $aVitamin A$xtherapeutic use 610 0$aNutrition 610 0$aOphthalmology 610 0$aBiochemistry 610 0$aHistory of Medicine 610 0$aPediatrics 610 0$aPublic Health 610 0$aVitamins 615 0$aVitamin A deficiency$xHistory. 615 0$aVitamin A$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory, 19th Century. 615 0$aNight Blindness$xhistory 615 0$aVitamin A$xtherapeutic use 676 $a613.2/86 700 $aSemba$b Richard D$0904775 702 $aSemba$b Richard D$4oth 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910353343103321 996 $aThe vitamin A story$92023427 997 $aUNINA
