Vitamin C VS Deadly Diseases
According to a study published in Lancet (March 2001 issue), studies have shown that extra vitamin C reduces the risk of many diseases.
Researchers measured the blood levels of vitamin C in 19,500 volunteers and kept track of their health for a 4-year period. The results showed that those folks with the highest concentration of vitamin C had about HALF the risk of dying during that time as opposed to those poor souls with the lower level of vitamin C. This testing was independent of supplement use, age and other health factors.
The research team concluded that the boost of vitamin C - a boost that is possible by eating just ONE extra daily serving of vitamin C-rich food like oranges or kiwis, could cut the risk of mortality by 20 percent.
