@dr.rickpescatore: It’s not easy to obtain Vitamin B1 (thiamine) levels from the ER, but I diagnosed a patient clinically with Dry BeriBeri last week, so we sent this off to Quest. Thiamine deficiency is a widespread and under-recognized problem in our country and a public health emergency.
I just looked up thiamine rich foods and now im wondering how i dont have a deficiency cause i hate all those foods

Just looked at where we get thiamine —oats, bread, rice, wheat etc and spinach we have been taught not to have carbs so there’s that and recently everyone making claims that spinach is actually bad for you unless Cooked or whatever

People don’t realise this is why we made fortified cereals and breads. This wave of anti-additives is somewhat warranted but also some of the additions saved millions of lives and fixed a very big problem humans faced for quite literally a millennia

Ever wonder why there are so many vitamin deficiencies?! If food still contained vitamins, the vitamin industry wouldn't exist.

Lipid soluble thiamine is “benfotiamine” most thiamine supplements are water soluble vitamin b 1. So which supplements do you recommend?
