Goldberger was a pioneer in the study and treatment of pellagra, demonstrating its experimental production and its prevention by proper diet. He found that supplementing nutrition-poor diets with eggs, milk, meat and yeast prevented and cured the disease, and in 1926 he speculated that the “P-P” (pellagra-preventative) factor was the same as Vitamin B2.
