Paulling touts Vitamin C to boost intelligence claims
Dr Pauling argues Vitamin C can raise IQ and reduce illness across populations citing a 1912 Minnesota study showing fewer school absences with vitamin intake and a link to higher IQs. He urges high daily doses up to 5000 mg, warns critics, and cites animal synthesis of vitamin C as supporting evidence.

Pauli ngs View On Vitamin C Evolution Cited
Linus Pauling argued that if a rat’s vitamin C production scaled to a 70 kilogram human a person would make from none to four grams daily. He noted stress could raise this to 10 to 15 grams. He theorized mankind’s common ancestor with monkeys thrived in a vitamin C rich environment and later mutations disabled internal production, making external sources essential.
