The other mammal that doesn’t produce vitamin C? IIRC, guinea pigs.

Linus Pauling would have been very interested in this approach. He inspired me to eat about 25 GRAMS of Vit C for about 2 months in undergrad. It takes a lot of effort to eat 25 grams and after the fourth TABLESPOON the gag reflex kicks in.

We finally bought empty gelatin capsules and spent hours loading the bulk VitC into the gelatin capsules and then spent a lot of time swallowing capsules all day. yuk.

In other news, researchers have developed a strain of mice that they hope will one day replace grapefruit and oranges.

“You don’t even have to squeeze the little suckers,” enthused the lead researcher.

“You just train them to pee in your glass.”

This research suggests a day when humans might live hundreds of disease-free years of life.

So maybe some of those biblical lifespans weren't exagerated??

Like, *PING*, dude.

(BTW, could this also help with "Syndrome X" as it is sometimes called? Continuous lowering of blood sugar sounds like it could have all *kinds* of benefits.)

Cheers!
