http://www.encognitive.com Vitamin C - The Most Essential Nutrient Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is a vitamin only because it is a nutrient essential for life that is not manufactured in the body and must be obtained from outside sources. Every living thing on this planet except primates (Including man) and guinea pigs produce their own Vitamin C internally, do not require it in their diet, and do not suffer from a host of diseases and maladies caused by Vitamin C deficiencies. Vitamin C is manufactured internally from glucose by a four-step process, each requiring a specific enzyme. Humans have the first three enzymes but the fourth is damaged and non functional apparently from a genetic mutation that occurred in our distant ancestors. It seems that we really have a species wide genetic disease. Perhaps fixing this genetic defect should be a primary goal for the genetic engineers of this century. There is a fifth step in vitamin C cycle, the conversion of ascorbic acid into mineral ascorbates in the liver. The price of vitamin C deficiency is staggering. Mammals with the enzyme can live 8-10 times their maturity age. Mammals without it have a hard time living to 3-4 times their maturity age. Therefore, if humans had the gene to make their own vitamin C, the human life span could be more like 300 years. Humans have cardiovascular disease and arthritis while other mammals do not. Humans are also more susceptible to viruses and infections than animals with their own vitamin C. What Vitamin C Does for Us What does vitamin C do for us? There are more than ten thousand published scientific papers that make it quite clear that there is not one body process and not one disease or syndrome that is not influenced by vitamin C. Vitamin C is particularly known for these functions: * Antioxidant Activity - Free radicals cause oxidative damage to cells and organs, accelerates aging, contributes to arteriosclerosis and cancer. Vitamin C is a powerful and important antioxidant. * Collagen Synthesis - Collagen is the foundation of all connective tissue, literally everything that holds the body together. Scurvy is the result of deterioration of the blood vessels resulting in hemorrhage, bleeding gums, bruising, loose teeth, tendency of bones to fracture, etc. Maladies affecting tendons, ligaments, skin, bone, teeth, cartilage, heart valves, intervertebral discs, cornea, and eye lens also result from vitamin C deficiency. There is a long continuum between scurvy and optimum tissue integrity. Most of us suffer from sub-clinical scurvy. * Immune System - Vitamin C is a requirement for the proper functioning of our immune systems. It is involved in white blood cell production, T-cells, and macrophages. Without Vitamin C in adequate quantities, our own body's best defense against disease is left without fuel. * Cardiovascular System - Cats and rats do not develop arteriosclerosis. The antioxidant properties of vitamin C help prevent the formation of arterial plaque. The support of connective tissues enables arteries to be strong and elastic, reducing the risk of aneurisms, stroke, and other problems. http://www.advance-health.com/...

Lack of vitamin C was quite evident with the early explorers in the 1500s and earlier. For whatever reason, we need to supplement with vittamin C.

Well our bodies do make vitamin d3 on skin exposed to sunlight. But we cover up with clothes today. And vitamin C, we probably used to get plenty of in our foods for eons, and, as Dr. Pauling points out, the mutant who lost this ability could use that energy for something else, say, developing better brain power so had the advantage.

not even the best machines on the planet are perfect, but with wisdom we reach for perfection or ignore wisdom and accept common entropy.

why has the human body stopped making its own vitamin c and vitamin d , why has the human body evolved to get rid of this , so we have to take pills and food to replenish our body with these vitamins

Iron and minerals are not produced in the body. No one goes around claiming IRON is the HOLY GRAIL. one substance is not the holy grail.

I love the turmoil surrounding this age old topic=)

It is sad that smart men make up stories about millions of years ago. You'd think he was there seeing it all happen. Everyone knows that microbes are a simpler life form than humans and animals but Evolutionists fail to explain why more complex life tended to arise when it was a liability rather than an asset. That one fact Explodes the myth of Evolution.

I almost died from Scurvy 3 months ago . I had surgery on my sinus's and a week later almost blead to death . I had 4 surgeries to save my life an artery ligated and several blood transfusions. I drank a half gallon of OJ a week, a bannana a day and a salad a day but developed it still. The cause was Chron's disease and little beneficial flora . I take probiotics and digestive enzymes daily now as well as 1,500mg of vit C. My skin has improved as well
