NOTE: Out of curiosity I linked to this last one which the full report

is freely available as either html or pdf file and has important new

information in open access form on the biosynthesis of vitamin c AND

the hormonal implications and use of DMSO. I have NOT had time to

digest it and, like Jane, am not sure I would even really understand

it, but they state it is important first report of whatever it is !!!

Someone knowledgable of it all may find it interesting and I am, but a

bit above me. Would enjoy a report!! I didn't check out the other

links. Joyce
