People have been shown to live on fresh beef alone for extended period without suffering scurvy.

Paradoxically, adding other might actually introduce the need for additional vitamin C.

Uncooked meat has vitamin C, but is harder to digest and risks food born diseases. Cooking is the issue rather than the lack of it in chicken or beef.

People don’t need much vitamin C to avoid scurvy, a healthy person can skip it for about 3 months without significant issue.
