Well, I apologize for being blunt. And I understand that just because a goat has so much, that doesn't mean we should run out and load up to the extreme.

Many of the processes in cellular biology are pretty much the same across mammalian species. That's why we can do alot of reliable testing on things like mice.

But some are different - never feed your dog grapes - he will die an agonizing death from kidney failure.

Of all the species measured, adjusted for body weight, they all generate AT LEAST 50 times the US RDA for vitamin C. That fact leads me to believe the US RDA is way too low, in fact, dangerously low.

No grapes for dogs? Really? I wasn't aware of that. That's my FR fact of the day. I learn something new everytime I browse the threads here.
