#rickets is a disease that causes #softbones in children and affects their #musculoskeletal growth; it leads to complications such as #bowedlegs, #knockknees, and even #scoliosis in the #spine. #VitaminD3 is essential for both a growing fetus and the child after it's born. While adults who are deficient do not typically develop rickets, their bones may become softer, a condition known as #osteomalacia. If vitamin D3 levels remain low, this can lead to #osteoporosis. #angstromminerals
Obesity is as much a symptom of a ruthless capitalist system as rickets.

"There has been a surge in cases of #scabies and #measles – both highly contagious – as well as #rickets and #scurvy, conditions we thought had been eradicated"

Are public health cuts to blame?" rhetorical question, methinks...
What percentage of the electorate even hits the threshold for inheritance tax?
When 29% of #children in the UK are living in #poverty, children are arriving at school too hungry to learn, and in East Anglia, #rickets is back with a vengeance, what kind of government prioritises #tax breaks for the already #wealthy?
@CrazyMyra @Bullix @RickiTarr Yes, Scots origin. Also, yes, bow legs. #rickets ? Lack of sunshine -> lack of Vit D-> rickets?
Uppland, Sweden, 1918. The parents are pulling their daughter through a hole in a tree, to cure her from rickets. In Sweden these trees are called Smörjträd, which literally mean Lubrication Tree - but maybe it’s more proper with Salve Tree? Anyways, another name is Troll Tree. #folkmagic #folklore #rickets
