so i've been running ragged lately, been a little out of energy. with me leaving my company, everyone has been taking me out to eat and i realized i can't recall the last time i had a piece of fruit. made me think of scurvy, and looked it up and saw this article and thought it was interesting.
http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20040610/is...g-scurvy?page=2 QUOTE Nearly one-quarter -- 23% -- of males aged 25 to 44 were vitamin C deficient i'm no low carb dieter or anything, but i defintely don't eat enough fruit (heh... like none). i guess i could get a multivitamin but i'm the type that would rather get the stuff from food than a pill. |

I'm surprised that anyone is deficient in vitamin C, given how much crap they fortify with it.

Most fruit juices (cranberry types, apple etc.) contain all the vitamin C you will need in a day. Hell, I think eating just one orange a day will give you all the vitamin C you need. Fruit is cheap and it gives you plenty of fiber so you don't get ummm constipated.

But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

well depending on how much you take, sorta works. Too much C can cause your liver to funciton improperly. Too much of anything is bad, except asian women!

Hey Chuck (Impala): here is a pretty good solution to your problem...
Do you eat at McDonalds? If so, they have something on their menu called apple dippers. They only cost $1 and its a very small baggie of apples and some caramel dipping sauce. They are SUPER fortified in vitamin C because they are cut-up apples and the extra vitamin C prevents the apples from browning. That small baggie of apples has 310% of the daily value of vitamin C. $1.... for apples that come with a yummy caramel dipping sauce.... Yeah, I think its a good idea. |

Yeah but it is harder to get toxicity from water soluble vitamins. I think the toxicity of Vitamin C is around 2100 mg in one day. -------------------- A psychotic world we live in.

if you don't brush your teeth 3 times a day including your gums then they have the potential to bleed...especially if you brush really hard
that is not a sign of vitamic c deficiency...if your gums are bleeding everytime you brush then you should see a dentist probably immediately about 90% of systemic diseases can be contracted through the mouth....so...brushing and listerine are a good thing. -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good.
