Option C) Beriberi Among the B vitamins, one of the earliest deficiency syndromes to be discovered was beriberi, a deficiency of vitamin B1 (thiamine). The symptoms of beriberi are weakness and numbness in the feet and legs, swelling, difficulty breathing, and heart failure. Beriberi was eventually traced to a diet of polished white rice. When the rice bran is returned to the diet, the symptoms are reversed.
