my fact for the day: potato skins have lots of vitamin C
Edit: the link is a bit weird, i couldn't paste...it's a reuters story that may only be up a day...here's a quote:
"Scurvy is a relatively uncommon condition, Hermreck explained, although it tends to pop up more often among the elderly or alcoholics, who tend to have highly unbalanced diets. However, previous research has suggested that many Americans have relatively low levels of vitamin C in their blood, but the deficiencies are not extreme enough to develop into scurvy."
