It is a nice and simple idea, but the reality is that vitamin C trials have demonstrated absolutely no impact, at any dose, in reducing the incidence of vascular disease including heart attack and stroke.
In the interest of honesty, it is also important to point out that Dr. Pauling, a chemist, did not receive the Nobel prize for these ideas concerning vitamin C and vascular disease.
I'd like him to name the study (any study) that has investigated it with the proper dose!
