	Casimir Funk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kazimierz Funk (February 23, 1884 - January 19, 1967), commonly anglicized as Casimir Funk, was a Polish biochemist, generally credited with the first formulation of the concept of Vitamins in 1912, which he called vital amines or vitamines.
		Born in 1884 in Warsaw, the son of a prominent dermatologist, he studied in Berlin and Switzerland, where he gained his doctorate in organic chemistry at the university of Bern in 1904.
		Funk also conducted research into hormones, diabetes, ulcers, and the biochemistry of cancer.

	Vitamin: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Vitamin
		A vitamin (vita in Latin is life and the -amin suffix is short for amine) is an organic compound that cannot be synthesized (at all or in quantities that meet all needs) by a given organism and must be taken (in trace quantities) with food for that organism's continued good health.
		The name was invented by the Polish biochemist Kazimierz Funk in 1912.
		Vitamins were first recognised by the diseases that occur from a lack of certain foods; for example, the British Royal Navy recognised that a constituent of limes prevented scurvy (one result of not having enough vitamin C over an extended period of time), so limes were added to the diet of sailors.

	Vitamin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term, vitamin, does not encompass other essential nutrients such as dietary minerals, essential fatty acids or essential amino acids, nor is it used for the large number of other nutrients that are merely health promoting, but not strictly essential.
		When Casimir Funk isolated the water-soluble complex of micronutrients whose bioactivity Fletcher had identified, he proposed that it be named "Vitamine".
		The name soon became synonymous with Hopkins' "accessory factors", and by the time it was shown that not all vitamins were amines, the word was ubiquitous.

		It is an abbreviation for Pure Funk, a genre of music, and Plainfield Funk, referring to Plainfield, New Jersey, the hometown of The Parliaments, the original P-Funk group.
		I want my funk uncut." The breakout popularity of Parliament Funkadelic also led to the use of the term "P-funk" to mean something in its quintessence, of superior quality (e.g., "This is the p-funk of audio speakers"), or sui generis.
		By 1993, most of the old Parliament and Funkadelic albums were re-released, leading to a new emergence of funk and a new tour by the P.Funk All-Stars.
