The Scurvy, the Vitamin C and the Blasphemy

Oh look!
"The fact is that the Guinea pig can’t drink lemon juice because the lemon juice is too strongly sour for their tiny little bodies."
An assertion put forward without any evidence.
Here is the original claim.
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_guinea_pigs_drink_lemon_juice
No evidence is offered.


In any event we know which genes it is that the guinea pig lacks that prevent it making vitamin C.

I had hoped this thread full of nonsense had died.

It should have done.  I'll be locking it now.
