Vitamin C Keeps You Alive

I love orange juice.
[Intro - RichardStep (rstephensonable)]
RichardStep here. You may not know it, but
I get a big kick out of reading and especially
things related to health. Vitamins, minerals,
and toxicology. And a couple years back I
decided it was about time I checked into Vitamin
C... and I'm glad I did!
Oh and besides some of the printed material
that I perused, I also have some electronic
versions. I'll put all of the bibliography
type information in the doobly-doo description
bar. Check 'em out!!!
As I was going through these books, I was
putting some notes together I came up with
a pretty decent take-away list that I thought
I'd share with you guys.
The number 1 thing that I believe that people
need to get ingrained into their mind is that
Vitamin C is NOT synthesized by human beings.
We are just not capable of doing it... we
weren't designed that way. Whereas almost
everything else in the world was.
Humates... humates... [looks up to script
on the ceiling]
Humans, primates, guinea pigs, and some species
of birds cannot synthesize their own Vitamin
C and must supplement or die. As a matter
of fact, studies have shown that newborn animals
die quickly when the normal ascorbic acid
processes are interfered with.
Did you know scurvy, the affliction of sailors
of yore, was assuaged by keeping limes on
board. Hmmm - kind of makes sense why some
sailors were called limeys. It turns out they
have enough Vitamin C to keep them just above
the level of catching scurvy... and allowing
them to live.
Death due to cardiovascular disease is inversely
proportional to regular use of Vitamin C supplements.
That means support for greater heart health.
Cancer incidence and death appears inversely
related to regular Vitamin C supplementation.
Oh and get this, studies show that Diabetes
Mellitus (also known as Diabetes) was shown
to be related to lower blood plasma levels
of Ascorbic Acid (or Vitamin C).
Ascorbic Acid is the cell's universal reducing
agent - also commonly known as antioxidant
[free radical killer!].
Many hormones and associated processes are
dependent upon Vitamin C.
Vitamin C helps maintain good LDL cholesterol
levels - that's the good one.
And, of course, as you may have heard, Vitamin
C helps combat viral activity. It's also an
effective antihistamine and lessens upper
respiratory infection symptoms.
Vitamin C intake has been shown to be positively
related to bone mineral density - stronger
bones!
Did you know that the current recommendation
for Vitamin C intake for smokers is approximately
40% greater than those that don't smoke?
Lower levels of Vitamin C have been linked
to oxidative DNA damage which causes an increase
in risk for mutations.
Vitamin C enhances collagen and elastin assembly
- the main connective tissue in mammals.
So I'd say it pretty much all boils down to
Vitamin C doesn't do much on its own, but
every process of this body needs it and it
makes it work better.
The FDA [Food and Drug Administration] RDA
[Recommended Daily Allowance] of somewhere
between 70 and 125 [mg] is not great. I am
not a doctor so I can't give you [medical]
advice, but I can tell you this - this 4,500
[mh] of Vitamin C I am about to take won't
affect me in any negative way. As a matter
of fact, I will expel most of it. And I don't
recommend taking it all at once solely because
you won't be able to use it as much - spread
it out through the day.
But, just to show people that are probably
too scared to try it - it's not a big deal.
These are 500 [mg] - 5 of 'em.
Too sweet - crystal powder's better.
Sorry for talking with my mouth full. Could
use some Saltines™ with it - it'd be a lot
more messy.
These are 1,000 [mg] each - two of 'em.
4,500 [mg].
I'm going to sleep fine, my body's going to
work better, everything's gonna be alright.
Thanks for watching you guys. Have a great
and wonderful day - see you later!
