To the pathogenesis of rickets. Wengraf (Zeitschr. f. Kinderh., Bd. 34)
Starving children show stunting in weight and growth and susceptibility to infections, similar to the animals in experiments with a diet without vitamins. To test whether this is really due to a lack of a fat-soluble food additive, A. Wengraf fed a group of hungry Viennese children aged 2 to 5 years a food quite sufficient in calories but poor in this vitamin (fat was included in this food in the form of pork fat, which is known to contain no vitamin A, and milk was defatted by centrifugation).
