Summary: "Although most animal species can synthesize vitamin C, humans, guinea pigs, the Indian fruit bat, and the bulbul bird must obtain this vitamin from dietary sources. Citrus fruits, strawberries, cantaloupe, and kiwi are all excellent sources of vitamin C. Vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, is needed in the formation of collagen, a protein that holds together the connective tissues of the skin, muscle, and blood vessels. A deficiency of vitamin C causes scurvy, a common disease of sailors in the 1600s when they had no access to fresh fruits on long voyages. The properties of vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin that is readily excreted in urine, can be explained by the chemical principle described in General, Organic, & Biological Chemistry."--Back cover.
