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.

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

if you don't want to eat fruit just drink some good juices...

unless your teeth are falling out and you're bleeding from the gums, you're probably more paranoid than scurvy

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...?

Vitamin C is water soluble and excess amounts are processed via the kidneys. So yeah, you do piss it out. -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power.

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!
