   Which proves you can't read.   
      
   The sentence CLEARLY says that chronic alcoholism and severe malnutrition are   
   two conditions that can result in the vitamin deficiency.   
      
   The subject of the sentence is:   
      
       Conditions resulting in the vitamin deficiency and its effects   
      
   The verb of the sentence is:   
      
       include   
      
   The object of the sentence is:   
      
       chronic alcoholism, and severe malnutrition.   
      
   Following the regular rules of grammar and sentence construction, the sentence   
   can be restated as:   
      
       Chronic alcoholism and severe malnutrition are two of the conditions that   
       can result in the vitamin deficiency and its effects.
