Is vitamin C a placebo?
That question was the subject line of an e-mail I received from an HSI member named David who writes, 'NPR's Morning Edition ran a piece this morning on Vitamin C featuring a medical researcher from Consumer Reports. The conclusion was that Vitamin C in mega-doses provides nothing but flatulence and diarrhoea, according to the many studies they have reviewed. Given your strong and frequent advocacy of Vitamin C mega-doses, I thought you should know and might care to respond to NPR's story.'
David seems to be aware that he's offered several hot buttons here. I'll put on my Oven Glove, because I'm going to press them all.
