I was at a site that sells AA but it is from a non corn source, but what source they will not say. Now I am confused, but hey I have Six kids I should be confused lol. Stuart Brandt

I've seen these same specious arguments that are posed in this thread for over 35 years. Some people actually believe this drivel, but most of them are just doing the marketing for the nonsensical RDA so called food grown mega fraud vitamin companies. I suspect they are agent provacateurs of BigPharma. Pauling disproved "the ascorbic acid interferes with B12 myth" of Victor Herbert decades ago. Some people still believe in the tooth fairy. _________________ "Unless we put medical freedom into the constitution...medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship..force people who wish doctors and treatment of their own choice to submit to only what..dictating outfit offers."

Stuart Brandt Ascorbic acid probably comes from China. There it is made by the original Chinese technology, and soon almost all of the world production will come from China. Just be sure that you have the properly purified product. You don't need too much residual glucose. If AA is reasonably pure, small residues won't hurt. _________________ Damir Zucic http://garlic.mefos.hr/zucic http://www.zucic.org

Most vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is synthesized from corn. Corn has been contaminated by Starlink for years. Virtually all ascorbic acid is made in China using a two step fermentation process. A single step fermentation process developed in Scotland is not currently commercially feasible. Both of these methods are much cleaner and more economical than the Reichstein process. _________________ "Unless we put medical freedom into the constitution...medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship..force people who wish doctors and treatment of their own choice to submit to only what..dictating outfit offers."

Is it a technicality of sorts, like ascorbic acid not being organic? I'll follow up with Douglas Labs and report back with what they tell me as a consumer. _________________ All my posts are based on opinion or personal experience. ~ Begin with questions to find certainties. ~ me * If you have a library and a garden, you have everything you need. ~ Cicero * ... difficulties vanish when faced boldly. ~ Asimov

If a GMO product is used, but only the chemical composition is considered after processing, the final product is GMO free. That was a no brainer, wasn't it? _________________ All my posts are based on opinion or personal experience. ~ Begin with questions to find certainties. ~ me * If you have a library and a garden, you have everything you need. ~ Cicero * ... difficulties vanish when faced boldly. ~ Asimov
