Scientific American: FDA Lets Drugs Approved on Fraudulent Research Stay on the Market
Researchers in Wales found only 30% of parents and carers said they had ever been given advice by a health professional about giving young children vitamin supplements.
And nearly two-thirds (64%) of those asked said they didn't give their children vitamin supplements.
The Department for Health (DoH) recommends all children aged six months to five years should be given supplements containing vitamins A, C and D every day.
This advice has been in existence since the early 1990s, when it was endorsed by the then committee on medical aspects of food policy.

Vitamin C - In the News
-
Proton
pump inhibitors (i.e. Nexium® and *Prilosec®) reduce the
bioavailability of dietary vitamin C...
Unnaturally low stomach acid (elevated pH) is a double whammy. Low acid leads to infection, because intestinal flora find it easier to travel up the gut to the lungs. Acid blocking drugs also block vitamin C at the same time, which hampers the immune system.

16-Year Harvard Study
Finds Single Vitamin C Pill Would Save 300,000 Lives Annually...
"The study published July 16, 2003 in CARDIOLOGY tracked more than 85,000 nurses over 16 years found that those taking vitamin C supplements (360 mg) had almost 30 percent lower risk of getting heart disease. The number of deaths from heart disease every year is estimated at 950,000.
Interestingly, dietary intake of vitamin C seemed to have little effect on coronary heart disease risk. But if women used vitamin C supplements, their risk was reduced by 27 percent."

Positive
Effect of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) on prevention of
hypercholesterolemia induced atherosclerosis in rabbits...
The notion that oxidation of lipids and propagation of free radicals may contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is supported by a large body of evidence.
Low dose of ascorbic acid (0.5 mg/100 g body weight/day) did not have any significant effect on the percent of total area covered by atherosclerotic plaque. However, ascorbic acid when fed at a higher dose (15 mg/100 g body weight/day) was highly effective in reducing the atherogenecity. With this dose the percent of total surface area covered by atherosclerotic plaque was significantly less (p < 0.001). This suggests that use of ascorbic acid may have great promise in the prevention of hypercholesterolemia induced atherosclerosis.

glutamate-induced oxidative damage and genotoxicity in the rat:
modulatory role of vitamin C, vitamin E and quercetin...
Co-treatment of rats with VIT C and quercetin inhibited the induction of MNPCEs by MSG (P < 0.001). VIT E failed to protect against MSG-induced genotoxicity. The results indicate that dietary antioxidants have protective potential against oxidative stress induced by MSG and, in addition, suggest that active oxygen species may play an important role in its genotoxicity.

CONCLUSION: [Even Low Amounts] "Vitamin E plus C combination treatment is a safe, inexpensive and effective treatment option in patients with fatty liver disease, with results comparable to those obtained with ursodeoxycholic acid. Since more effective new therapeutic options are lacking, patients with fatty liver disease should be encouraged to take vitamin E and C supplements, which are safe and affordable."

These researchers established that the combination of vitamin C and EDTA was more than twice as effective as either agent alone in the removal of lead" - Thomas Levy, MD,JD

Vitamin C, technically known as ascorbic acid, is sprayed into cracks and brushed in, he said. "

Life Extension doctors check USC "artery clogging" results
LEF scientists look for carotid artery thickening in high-dose vitamin C
users - and fail!
"The results of The Life Extension Foundation's four-pronged carotid ultrasound test showed that in 23 out of 30 of these very high vitamin C supplement takers, there was no evidence of carotid plaque formation, obstruction (stenosis) or intimamedia thickening. Blood flow velocity through the carotids was completely normal in these 23 subjects.
"If we had set a cutoff of 60 years of age as the American Heart Association did, we would have found that none of our test subjects would have shown clinically significant carotid artery pathology. In other words, had we used the same narrow parameters (under age 60) that were presented at the American Heart Association meeting, we would have had no carotid artery pathology to report in this group of people who take very high doses of supplements."

"THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE ANTI-AGING STRATEGY IS TO TAKE A SPECTRUM OF HIGH POTENCY VITAMINS, MINERALS, AND TRACE ELEMENTS, INCLUDING THE ANTI-OXIDANTS. RECENT MEDICAL RESEARCH IN MAINSTREAM JOURNALS DOCUMENTS CLOSE TO 50% REDUCTION IN CANCER AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE BY MERELY TAKING SUPPLEMENTS FAR MORE POTENT THAT THE RDAs. SINCE CANCER AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE CAUSE 75% OF DEATHS AND DISABILITIES WITH AGING, THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. AGING CAN TO SOME EXTENT BE LOOKED ON AS A DEFICIENCY OF MICRONUTRIENTS."

Accidental Acetaminophen (Tylenol ) Poisonings Rise ...
Over six years, researchers tracked 662 consecutive patients in acute liver failure who were treated at 22 transplant centers. (Acute liver failure is the most severe type, developing over days, unlike chronic liver failure that can simmer for years because of alcohol abuse or viral hepatitis.)
Almost half were acetaminophen-related. More remarkable was the steady increase: Acetaminophen was to blame for 28 percent of the liver poisonings in 1998, but caused 51 percent of cases in 2003.
That makes acetaminophen the most common cause of acute liver failure, the researchers report in the journal Hepatology.
While most patients pulled through with intensive care, 74 died and 23 others received a transplant.

Aspirin doubles risks of death after brain hemorrhage ...Certain drugs, such as aspirin, cortisone, and other anti-inflammatory agents, and cinchophen, are known to provoke ulcers and gastric hemorrhage. This is especially the case when a deficiency of ascorbic acid is present. In animal experiments, the administration of ascorbic acid along with the toxic drug reduced the incidence of peptic ulcer and gastric hemorrhage to such an extent that it prompted one author (Aron) to suggest, "Therefore it would seem judicious in human therapeutics to include ascorbic acid in every prescription for an anti-inflammatory drug" [ Healing Factor by Stone ]

Avian Influenza: Are You Prepared?
Various U.S. and U.N. agencies and the Council on Foreign Relations are spreading the word that the Avian Influenza, if it breaks out this fall or winter, could be as severe as the worldwide Spanish Influenza epidemic of 1918, and they are predicting hundreds of millions of deaths worldwide. This influenza, currently isolated in China, is a hemorrhagic illness. It kills half of its victims by rapidly depleting ascorbate (vitamin C) stores in the body, inducing scurvy and collapse of the arterial blood supply, causing internal hemorrhaging of the lungs and sinus cavities...
