Good God man! Pauling is not a RESPONSIBLE source...he won two Nobel prizes, wrote many best selling books, and is considered one of the greats.I don’t think so. Most adults need 8-10 grams per day and if ill, you need a lot more. I don’t think you can get that much from any diet.
No responsible source recommends anywhere near that amount.

Wow. IN your own post no less.
You DO know how many milligrams are in a gram, right?
Yes, and as I said, no RESPONSIBLE source recommends anywhere near that amount.
