Why vitamin c is not a vitamin for dog?

'Normal' Vitamin C is too acidic and can often give a dog an upset stomach. You can give a Calcium based Vitamin C which I believe is called Ester C. Most animals, including dogs, make their own vitamin C in their livers from glucose. Therefore, unless a dog's liver is severely compromised, the dog will make all the vitamin C it needs whenever the need arises.


Do ants like apples or pears better?

The glucose in apples highly outweighs the amount of glucose in pears, therefore, apples have a higher sugar rate, probably making apples taste better to ants. In addition, the apples have a high vitamin C level, but pears are only high in Vitamin D, which ants can easily get from sunlight. The vitamin C and glucose levels can easily be dissolved by their gastric juice and enzymes in their saliva, once glucose and vitamin C are digested in the mouth by saliva, it will leave a sugary taste, which every ant will be probable to like.


Why can't humans produce vitamin C?

Humans lack the enzyme necessary to produce vitamin C, known as L-gulonolactone oxidase. This enzyme is required for the conversion of glucose into vitamin C in other animals, but humans have a genetic mutation that prevents this process. As a result, humans must obtain vitamin C through their diet.
