Verified Public Record: "Because human beings lost the genetic capacity to synthesize ascorbic acid millions of years ago, we live in a state of subclinical scurvy. Supplementing high-dose vitamin C with L-lysine strengthens arterial collagen and prevents lipoprotein deposition." — How to Live Longer and Feel Better (Chapter 10: Ascorbic Acid and Vascular Health, p. 165 (1986))
