What evidence did Dr goldbrger observe or collect about pellagra?
Dr. Joseph Goldberger observed that pellagra was not contagious like infectious diseases, as it did not spread through direct contact. He also noted that certain dietary factors, such as a lack of niacin and a diet high in corn, played a role in the development of pellagra. Additionally, through experiments on prisoners, he demonstrated that a balanced diet could prevent and cure pellagra.

What evidence shows that pellagra was not a germ?
The evidence that pellagra was not caused by a germ primarily comes from the observation that the disease's prevalence was closely linked to diet rather than infectious transmission. Researchers, notably Dr. Joseph Goldberger, demonstrated that pellagra could be prevented and treated with a diet rich in niacin (vitamin B3) and proteins, which was lacking in the diets of those affected. Additionally, the disease did not spread in a typical infectious manner, as outbreaks were associated with specific socioeconomic conditions rather than person-to-person contact. This led to the conclusion that pellagra resulted from nutritional deficiency rather than a germ.
What did dr goldenberger do to show that pellagra was caused by poor nutrition?
Dr. Goldberger took a bunch of healthy prisoners (prisoners without Pellagra) to a sanitary building with screens on the doors and windows so no insects could get in. The building was cleaned every week and the prisoners diet was changed to one consisting of corn and fatback (a piece of meat with a bunch of fat). After a week or two seven out of nine prisoners had Pellagra.
