The constitution of 1814 explicitly stated that the war flag was to be a union flag, hence the common flag (Swedish with a canton signifying Norway) was used by the armies and navies of both states until 1844.

Flag of the Kalmar Union In 1844 a union mark combining Norwegian and 1397-1523 Swedish colours was placed at the hoist of both countries' flags. The badge was jokingly or derogatorily called Sildesalaten ("the herring salad") because of its jumble of colours and resemblance to a popular dish on the breakfast Swedish flag with the tables of both countries. Initially, the union flag red/white cross was popular in Norway, since it clearly denoted the equal status of the two united states.

  • Vitamins and Minerals: a Brief Guide
    Vitamins and minerals: a brief guide A Sight and Life publication Vitamins and minerals: a brief guide Vitamins are organic nutrients that are essential for life. Our bodies need vitamins to function properly. We cannot produce most vitamins ourselves, at least not in sufficient quantities to meet our needs. Therefore, they have to be obtained through the food we eat. What are vitamins A mineral is an element that originates in the Earth and always retains its chemical identity. Minerals occur as inorganic crystalline salts. Once minerals enter the body, they remain there until and minerals? excreted. They cannot be changed into anything else. Minerals cannot be destroyed by heat, air, acid, or mixing. Compared to other nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates and fat, vitamins and minerals are present in food in tiny quantities. This is why vitamins and minerals are called micronutrients, because we consume them only in small amounts. Each of the vitamins and minerals known today has specific functions in the body, which makes them unique and irreplaceable. No single food contains the full range of vitamins and minerals, and inadequate nutrient intake results in deficiencies. A variety of foods is therefore vital to meet the body’s vitamin and mineral requirements. Of the known vitamins, four are fat-soluble. This means that fat or oil must be consumed for the vitamins to be absorbed by the body. These fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E and K. The others are water-soluble: these are vitamin C and the B-complex, consisting of vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, folic acid, biotin, pantothenic acid and choline.

  • Pellagra in the American South
    The Rise and Fall of Pellagra in the American South Karen Clay* Ethan Schmick† Werner Troesken‡ This draft: August 2016 Abstract No other nutrition-related disease in American history caused as many deaths as pellagra. The by-product of insufficient niacin consumption, pellagra reached epidemic proportions in the American South, killing roughly 7,000 Southerners annually at its peak in 1928. We document the rise and fall of pellagra in the American South and present three main findings. First, pellagra resulted, in part, from Southern agriculture’s heavy emphasis on cotton, which displaced local food production and effectively raised the price of niacin consumption. Evidence for this proposition derives in part from the arrival of the boll weevil. Although the boll weevil reduced Southern incomes and cotton production, it was also associated with increases in local food production and sharp reductions in pellagra. Second, pellagra was largely eliminated through voluntary fortification of cereal-grain products starting in 1937 and a series of state fortification laws passed in the 1940s. These laws, for the first time in Southern history, broke the strong positive correlation between cotton production and pellagra. Third, exposure to early-life interventions that reduced cotton production and/or increased niacin consumption were associated with improved stature and wages. These findings have important implications for our understanding of the economic history of the American South and economic development in general. * Contact: Karen Clay, Associate Professor of Economics and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University, Heinz College, 5000 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213.
