I might have heard of beriberi before watching an old war film.


Beri Beri ‍Many Far East Prisoners of War suffered from Beriberi because of their inadequate diet. Beriberi is a disease caused by a deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1) that affects many systems of the body including the muscles, heart, nerves and digestive system.
