Guest guest Posted March 14, 2000 Report Share Posted March 14, 2000 Did anyone else see that news release last week about Vitamin C? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ' Disturbing surprise:' Vitamin C may speed hardening of the arteries. Those taking 500mg of vitamin C daily for at least a year had a 2 1/2 times greater rate of thickening then did those who avoided suppliments, researchers reported at an American Heart Association meeting. Among smokers, the rate was five times greater. Experts advise getting vitamins from fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts rather than pills. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I know a number of us are taking Vitamin C suppliments, and that is why I am posting this article. If you find any follow up or amplification on this subject, please let me know. Best, Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
