Except the Bible is *not* literal so there is; in fact, no Biblical support.

The first possibility is very simple and there is logical Biblical and

scientific support for this scenario. From the beginning, Adam and Eve

were not created with a biochemical pathway for making vitamin C and

were dependent on eating fruit, the best source of vitamin C. We know

they were instructed to eat any fruit in the Garden of Eden except fruit

from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and yet had access to

the Tree of Life. Adam and Eve lived in an environment with many

similarities to heaven.
