Vitamin C - Adapted from "Research on the Co-relationship between Vitamin C and Death Rate": UCLA 2008

This quote was added by mingfeng96
Vitamin C plays a crucial role in our health. It helps to build and maintain our tissues and fortify our immune systems. Vitamin C is water-soluble, which means it is excreted from the body everyday and cannot be stored for later use. Therefore, we should aim to get some vitamin C in our daily diet. A study showed that taking vitamin C can reduce death rates by as much as 42 percent for men and 10 percent for women who have taken it in high doses (citation needed).

This is complete BS.

There is no publication titled "Research on the Co-relationship between Vitamin C and Death Rate" or anything similarly name, much less anything published by UCLA in 2008. The only thing published by UCLA related to vitamin c in 2008 was "Dietary Carotenoids, Vitamins C and E, and Risk of Cataract in Women" which doesn't address anything related to this.

Furthermore, there is definitely no credible study showing "Vitamin C can reduce death rates by as much as 42 percent for men and 10 percent for women who have taken it in high doses" – to claim 42% of all male deaths could be avoided with vitamin c is beyond ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong; vitamin c is important for human health. But public beliefs about it greatly exaggerate it's benefits, with medical research having mixed results at best.
