Should I worry-I've eaten ramen noodles and root beer for lunch

for the last 3 days.

I've heard if you eat too much ramen noodles, you'll get scurvy or something like that. Is it true? I hope not.

Anyways, I just wan't y'alls opinions...

1. Scurvy comes from deficiency

So it's not a matter of eating too much ramen, but not getting enough Vitamin C. You have to be a pirate or a whaler, too.

2. According to my mother

you'll get worms. :)

Eat an orange.

4. I don't have no oranges...

plus, I'm like the only person in the world who hates orange juice.

is some organic milk with ovaltine okay instead of an orange? :)

3. it is not true

as others have said, scurvy is caused by a prolonged deficiency of vitamin C, such as is not possible in this society, you would have to eat nothing but ramen for many months if not years

v. little vit. C is required to fend off scurvy, a lime in your rum once in awhile worked well for the british navy

5. Not scurvy, but your ankles might swell

from all the salt in the ramen. :P

6. I had nothing but ramen noodles and water for a week straight once

when I was really broke. I didn't get scurvy. I was Really craving a hamburger, though. :7
