Funny, when I'd read his book "Not By Bread Alone", Stefansson was practically boasting about how it was only muscle-meats and fats that one needed to eat to be healthy. Plus, of course, the Eskimoes whose diet Stefansson was trying to model had even wider variety of foods(some of which was raw) such as adrenals which are very high in vitamin C.

It would have been better if every morsel of food had been checked etc.- But I suppose that would be difficult to do over a full year, for any diet.
