" 5.0 out of 5 stars This book literally could save your life Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2011- The most essential nutrient for the prevention of heart attacks is vitamin C. Animals don't get heart attacks but people do because most animals manufacture vitamin C in their bodies but humans do not have this ability; and vitamin C is ESSENTIAL for strong, healthy arteries, as well as for a healthy immune system. Virtually all animals -- except for humans and other primates (monkeys and apes) plus guinea pigs and a few fruit-eating birds and bats -- not only manufacture vitamin C every day, but they also manufacture a lot of it. A typical animal manufactures 20 mg or more of vitamin C PER POUND OF BODY WEIGHT every day. If your cat or dog, for example, weighs 10 lbs, he or she manufactures 200 mg or more of vitamin C daily. The official recommended daily intake of vitamin C for humans is less than 100 mg. That's only enough for a 5 lb. animal, but it's supposed to be enough for a 125 lb. woman or a 175 lb. man. It's supposed to be enough, but it isn't. Humans need as much vitamin C as animals do; we just can't manufacture our own as most animals can. A typical 125 lb. woman needs at least 2,500 mg of vitamin C daily and a 175 lb. man needs at least 3,500 mg. You may think that a glass of orange juice every day meets all of your needs for vitamin C but, in fact, it falls far short. Given our shortage of vitamin C, it's not surprising that humans get cardiovascular diseases -- including heart attacks -- that most animals don't. Read this book and learn how with appropriate supplementation of vitamin C and other essential nutrients you can virtually eliminate your risk of having a heart attack. This book could not only significantly improve your health but literally save your life."-D. R. Schryer
