I hear there is an epidemic of heart disease in Gorillas in zoos. Anyone dare mention they supplement ascorbic acid? I think it would be a great way to get the facts out about the true nature of heart disease. How could we get the press required to get some action on this.

Very interesting (not so good for the gorilla, eh). Do you have some links to the press reports. I am willing to contact the Zoo Keepers. Also, if there is a Zoological Society, send me the info or point me to the web site. I'll write an article for their publication.
