Abstract

Funk - Father of the Vitamin
Harrow, Benjamin | December 16, 1944 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on Casimir Funk, the father of Vitamin. He not only coined the name but also did much of the scientific work, which established its identity. Funk deserves the major credit, first, because of the conducive evidence he presented that a vitamin was a very definite chemical entity and, second, because of his grand generalization that various vitamins-not just one-were necessary for normal health and the absence of any one of them from the didn't would give rise to a characteristic food-deficiency disease.
