Vitamin C Forum

I was shocked to see a study this morning that supports vitamin C as a factor in reduced risk for stroke.

Of course, it would be nice if they carried this further that they did, but it is still nice to see. It seems to me the mainstream media is as afraid of admitting the benefits of vitamin C as mainstream doctors are.

Yes, Aineo, it would seem you are absolutely correct in that supposition. And when you think about it, it is only logical, i.e. who [or by what means] are the media [and universities and research grant seekers, etc., etc., etc.] financially supported [by]? Is it not advertising [and donations, and grants, etc.]? As the old saying goes, "He who pays the piper, calls the tune!" And, as a poster on the wall in my father's office [so facetiously] put it, "In this place of business, the golden rule applies: He who has the gold, rules!"

Just my viewpoint and "two cents worth,"
