A coroner's finding on vitamin C and sailor's disease has a lab treating Brisbane's fruit aisle like a convict voyage.
Researchers in Queensland have answered a coroner's scurvy finding with a study of twenty-six grocery baskets. They want a lime issued like a naval ration. The lab is inland and they still filed the work as a ship's log.
...so we ran twenty-six baskets through the lab and the lime still had to do all the work
The lead researcher said that on Tuesday, as if she were reading a weather report for the end of the body. Her team had looked at scurvy after a Queensland coroner named vitamin C. They wrote the whole thing up like a voyage.
Scurvy is the sailor's disease. It is what happens when a body runs out of vitamin C. Vitamin C is the part of an orange that keeps you intact.
They already knew this. They tested it anyway, with a straight face and a spreadsheet. One group got fruit. The other group got a note.
The finding was not a fluke. Researchers call that the p-value. That number only measures how hard it is to shrug. Fruit sat on the shelf the whole time. The state now wants every lunch treated as a convict transport, a lime a day issued by count as if Brisbane had slipped its moorings. The lab is inland. They still filed the paper as a ship's log.
