Or rickets from the lack of vitamin D or calcium. |

1 a day multi-vitamins and a secret chest freezer full of orange juice concentrate. 
You can have/do anything you want in a fairy tale.  |

Seeing the tale was written by goatherders and not seafarers, scurvy would not have been known, plus they hugged the coastline back then if they went to sea.

Noah freeze-dried the oranges and other fruits high in vitamin C. He may have also had on board loads of sauer kraut which also is great anti-skurvy. He may also have had some good grog.
On the insistence of senior officers, led by Rear Admiral Alan Gardner, in 1794 lemon juice was issued on board the Suffolk on a twenty-three week, non-stop voyage to India. The daily ration of two-thirds of an ounce mixed in grog contained just about the minimum daily intake of 10 mg vitamin C. There was no serious outbreak of scurvy.
