A member asked:
Hello docs, is hardening of arteries the same as scurvy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Scurvy is due to vitamin c deficiency and is cured by eating fresh fruit. Hardening of the arteries is related to many factors including elevated levels of cholesterol. It has nothing to do with vitamin c.
