WHAT YOU HAVEN’T BEEN TOLD ABOUT THE USDA RECOMMEND ALLOWANCE FOR VITAMIN C:

A tolerable upper limit (UL) of vitamin C was set at 2 grams for the first time in the year 2000, referencing this mild laxative effect as the reason for establishing the UL.

Pauling criticized the established US Recommended Daily Allowance, pointing out that it is based on the known quantities that will prevent acute scurvy but is not necessarily the dosage for optimal health.
