All the vitamins are necessary for human health, and if you are not getting enough of any particular vitamin, there is a disease that will result. Lack of vitamin C causes scurvy, lack of vitamin B causes beri-beri, lack of vitamin D causes rickets, lack of vitamin A harms vision and in extreme cases causes blindness. Vitamin E is not as critical, but a deficiency of it will still have a harmful effect on health.
