Interesting Word # 68 - Genuvarum
Genuvarum describes the condition of bow-leggedness. (If you are bowlegged it means your legs bow outward at, or below the knee. The chief cause of this deformity is rickets, which is caused by a deficiency of vitamin D, due to a lack of sunlight or a poor diet. Researchers believe that the increased use of sunblocks and increasing levels of atmospheric pollution are responsible for a world-wide increase in cases of rickets.)
