During Victorian times, poor people in the north of England were healthier than those in the south, because those in the south ate bread and those in the north ate potatoes. Potatoes have vitamin C, wheat doesn’t.
I read a book a while back that actually had a big chunk on this sort of thing. Most people dont realize that for eons people ate the same staple, day in and day out. Very specific deffieciencies came about from what the people in the region ate.
