[Au début du XIXe siècle,] les maladies par carence étaient courantes non seulement chez les marins mais aussi dans le prolétariat urbain dont l'alimentation était souvent peu variée. [...] Il aura [...] fallu un siècle pour que la notion de maladie par carence qualitative établie par Lind mais ignorée du monde scientifique fût retrouvée. [...] Un médecin américain, Joseph Goldberger (1874-1929) voulut démontrer que la pellagre était une maladie de carence comme l'avait suggéré Funk et non une maladie infectieuse. 2, record 1, French, - maladie%20de%20carence
