Why Take Vitamin C?
Filed under:
This is a great video of Dr. Linus Pauling, who was probably the second most important scientist of the 20th century. Listen to how much vitamin C he was taking at the time this video was made. I don't know when it was made actually but I suspect it was early or mid 80's. Perhaps the most compelling part of the presentation is at the end when he describes the commonly suggested needs of monkeys. It reminded me of this quote by Albert Szent-Gyorgyi: "The purpose of science has gone from making discoveries to getting grants granted."

That *is* funny.
He seems like a fairly smart fellow (to put it lightly).
It is nice to see someone speak like that...unfortunately, you rarely see it, unless a scientist is so far up the ladder that they no longer fear reprisals for saying it they way they see it.
