Can vitamin C prevent disease?
Jul 28 2009, 12:26 AM EDT
Heart disease is currently the number one cause of death in America. Linus Pauling, Ph.D., the only man to ever win two unshared Nobel Prizes in all of history, wrote his groundbreaking book, Vitamin C and the Common Cold, in March 1971. In the following decade, vitamin C consumption in the US increased 300% and heart disease decreased 30% simultaneously! A 1955 article in the Journal of Dental Research (Vol. 34: Page 750) demonstrated that vitamin C given to children with significant gum disease was able to clearly improve the condition. (Stop America's #1 Killer, Thomas Levy, MD, JD, Livon Books, Henderson, NV, 2006) A scientific study done at Tufts University, reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that vitamin C consumption by women for 10 years or more reduced the risk of cataracts by more than 75% compared with women who did not take vitamin C. A 2001 article in Lancet, the British medical journal [Vol. 357 (9257): Pages 657-663], reported that people with high vitamin C levels in their blood had only one half the risk of death from all diseases compared to those with low vitamin C levels. The researchers concluded that increasing daily fruits and vegetables just 3 oz. a day could result in a 20% reduction in death from all diseases!

It could make a wonderful difference to the lives of those you love. Do you find this valuable? |
