Steve Coffman in his book,Ezekiel's Medicine names the loss of the liver enzyme gulonolactone oxidase as the result of Adam's disobedience in the Garden Of Eden.Go to the Book of Genesis and read the account.Please have a happy new year,vitamin C users,Van

So he is saying it is basically punishment from God then? He is an advocate of high dose ascorbic acid so he must have
a philosophy about this, as in "Hey what Adam did isn't my fault so why should I suffer"

You can thank God that vitamin C is inexpensive and available and that this information gateway is open.I do.Sincerely Van

I think what you mentioned above may be a sound theory. It may also be simply that primates and guinea pigs get enormous amounnts of vitamin c in their diets so nature being as resourceful as it is may have figured that it is better to put energy towards things that are more of a necessity.

I think that Linus Pauling wrote something like that, a long time ago. A similar discussion was present before in General
Forum. I still think that loss of GULO lead to one more advantage: more efficient glucoronidation (a detox method) after
changing evolutionary niche.

In this republic you have the freedom to believe whomsoever you choose.

Darwin, who thinks you are a decendent of a monkey.

God created vitamin c,GENESIS chapter 1 verse 11, Then God said, let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them, and it was so. It seems the almighty had this covered in his perfect plan.

Hi everyone!

I am new here so I briefly present myself: I am an 43 years old engineer (PhD) that has lost his faith on conventional western preventive medicine. So I am now following paleo nutritional advice (Perfect Health Diet mainly), sunbathing without protection and supplementing D3 when unable to do it, and saturating my blood of ascorbic acid (and beyond through the liposomal one) on any sickness sign (five times the last year and a half) on top of the daily 3g. Anybody near enough that I have been able to convinced is doing the same: my father has improved his COPD symptoms lately. I write a low-visited blog in spanish: I just want my daughters to have the information accessible, just in case.

I would like to ask something about the Zucic's hypothesis.

Not that I doubt your research, and your hypotheses is the first one about the GULO mutation that does perfect sense. I just would like to see it (your hypothesis) in a more formal and complete referenced state: have you published it or written any more complete presentation accessible on the web? (I haven't found it on your site). For the moment, I will reference your message on this thread.

Thanks.

This is an interesting question...but I´ve also read that the ability was lost 63 mya?

If this is so, then perhaps the loss of the GULO-enzyme occurred as a result of the "Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event" that happened around roughly that time, when the dinosaurs ceased to rule the environment?
