How many tonnes of salt and sea food were exported from China during 1949 - 1952?
How many tonnes of salt and other sea food (Ex: Fish) were exported from China during 1949 - 1952? Related articles are China National Salt Industry Corporation, Salt in Chinese history, --Tenkasi Subramanian (talk) 10:03, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * It may be difficult to find accurate records for that period, as China was subject to a UN embargo during the Korean War. Perhaps exports from Hong Kong and Macau might be a useful proxy? DOR (HK) (talk) 17:33, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Food
Can you give me a website where I put in what I'm eating and it tells me what vitamins and minerals I'd be deficient in? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:E42:102:1817:160:16:230:197 (talk) 19:54, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * While that's not directly giving medical advice, it is recommending that you trust a source, which is kinda indirectly giving medical advice.
 * Also, any website's food database is going to be only an estimate, since they don't know exactly what you're eating. Ian.thomson (talk) 20:00, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * This seems to do what you want to. -- Jayron 32 23:07, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think saying "see a doctor" is medical advice, so that's what I'll go ahead and recommend if you think you might have a deficiency. My doctor out of the blue suspected I might have a vitamin D deficiency so she ordered a blood test and sure enough I did (supplements fixed it).  I guess I wasn't getting enough UV from my computer screen.  Anyway you can't figure this out from your diet.  You need medical tests (developing actual symptoms could be seen as an extreme type of test) to check for deficiencies. 173.228.123.121 (talk) 23:10, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
