# Citrus in Nutrition

Instruction on the nutritional benefits of citrus fruits, including a discussion of their historical use to prevent scurvy on ships. Notes from Educational Film Guide, 1945 edition: "This is a revision of the film formerly issued under title "Citrus on Parade." A natural color film illustrates properly selected meals, each with the correct content of calcium, vitamins, proteins, etc. The story of Captain David Porter of the early U.S. Navy and his unceasing fight against scurvy introduces the important vitamin and diet information. United States government charts, upon which the entire nutrition information in the film is based, illustrate the diet message. The final section of the film shows how to prepare tempting fruit dishes." "The lovely color of this film helps to make it a very appealing one. The section on why certain lunch box contents are lacking in proper nutritional balance is exceedingly helpful." (Collaborator review in Educational Film Guide, 1945)
