Retired - If taking that much C helps you, that's great. I do feel compelled to point out, for the record, that Linus Pauling's Nobel Prizes were not awarded for his vitamin C research. They were totally unrelated. He won the first one for chemistry in 1954, for his work on the nature of chemical bonds, specifically with iron and the structure of some crystals. In 1962 he won the Nobel Peace Prize. It wasn't until the seventies that he developed the idea that megadoses of vitamin c might have beneficial effects on health. He was unquestionably a brilliant man, but it should be noted that Dr. Pauling had no medical training. I don't believe there is clinical evidence that supports his vitamin C claims. The official Nobel Prize web page on Pauling doesn't even mention the vitamin C hypothesis. nobelprize.org - Allen
