820. Linus Pauling

When Dr. Martin talks about vitamin C, it’s usually about coffee, but in today’s episode he talks about the actual vitamin, ascorbic acid. It was Linus Pauling who put vitamin C on the map. Before him, vitamins weren’t popular at all in North America. He actually won a Nobel Prize in medicine for his work on vitamin C. Dr. Martin shares some points from a recent article he read on vitamin C and provides his thesis on the topic.
