Like smelling the cork of a wine bottle without tasting it.

500 mg. as WC used to say "I spill more then that!"

First here's a list of open studies on V-C.

http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?r ... id%22&pg=1

Now we have to look at Big Pharma's Cash Cow's and what could cut into the profits.
1. Statins 2. BP Meds.
Statins we know are losing their patent status and Pharma is already in Phase 3 studies on
augmenting drugs when taken with statins convert LDL into HDL.
BP Meds every one makes them and just about everyone takes them. Were talking BIG$$$
Now along comes a study released in 2012 that say's High doses of V-C lowers BP.
The study hasn't been posted anywhere yet but if you do a search with, "Vitamin C Blood pressure." you'll see just about every med journal is reporting it. It's like a call for Big Pharma to bring out the Big Guns aganinst that nasty Vitamin C.
My bet is this is whats causing the stir!!
The stomach cancer V-C study was first released in 2002.
That was the omeprazole battle against V-C back then.
