While it is easy to criticize any animal model study, especially when targeting cancer, we should be HIGHLY skeptical of any mouse study that uses vitamin C. Why?
Mice synthesize their own vitamin C; humans do not (hence, it should properly be called ascorbic acid in mice, not vitamin c). The biological pathways involving this compound are very different between species, and deserve special consideration.
