Abstract

Why is the Indian fruiteating bat like a human being asks Caroline Austin. Because they are both incapable of synthesising vitamin C The disability is the result of some longpast mutation in evolution which has resulted in the loss of activity of an enzyme which catalyses the final step in the biosynthesis of vitamin C. Clearly, vitamin C must be supplied in the diet to compensate for this loss, but how much should we take In recent years there has been a great deal of controversy on this topic
