The vitamins A and C status of the rat and guinea pig, as influenced by the level of vitamins A and C intake, diet composition, calorie intake and exposure to cold.
An enigma has existed since 1948 concerning the possible interrelationship of vitamin A and vitamin C. We first examined this possible relationship by taking advantage of the known effects of cold on tissue ascorbic acid. We found that vitamin A deficient rats had a decreased resistance to cold and …

Three empirical analyses of behavioral and nutrition policy influences on dietary choices
… essay, I find that external stimuli do increase calorie intake, and that restraint behavior does not fully compensate for the excess calories. Another important result is that individuals consuming higher calories show more impulsive behavior but, surprisingly, also show high restraint. My second …
