Re: Mega-dose vitamin C

If we've lost the ability to synthetize use amounts of vitamin C, maybe it's because it doesn't make that much of a difference?

We all wish that was the case... try not to take any vitamin C at all, and you die of scurvy. That simple. Linus Pauling explains it in plain language in his book "How To Live Longer and Feel Better" how evolution works by ridding an organism of genetical baggage; the less our body has to do, the more it can develop some other systems.

Interestingly enough, most of vitamin C in our bodies is in brain and eyes - two organs that are far superior to other mammals.
