Why does eating staple foods reduce the demand for vitamin C? In fact, this has to do with a certain type of "lousy receptor."

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and an essential substance for the formation of collagen.

Collagen, in turn, is the main component of the body's connective tissue, which is indispensable for the structure and support within the body, including blood vessels.

Therefore, when there is a lack of vitamin C, just a little external pressure can cause blood to seep out of the blood vessel walls, resulting in bleeding, which is scurvy.

Once scurvy is contracted, one may experience symptoms such as bleeding gums, loose teeth, wounds that are difficult to heal, and joint pain.

The absorption of glucose and vitamin C actually has a "competitive relationship."
