Thank you once again.. Off to toss the Vit C in my cabinet. .. I picked omegas on your poll.. But I will read whichever one you post about. Something tells me I will have an empty vitamin cabinet by the time you're done. In fact I have stopped taking them all period. Unless of course something turns out to actually be good for us.

I didn't know any of this, but I've heard (from a Chinese-American engineer) that we shouldn't ingest anything from China.

Georgi Dinkov (Haidut website), on a podcast, warns against any food product labeled to contain citric acid or ascorbic acid. They're both typically produced by large manufacturing processes and contaminated with heavy metals. One example are bottled fruit juices which typically contain citric acid if made from fruit *concentrate* rather than the actual fruit.

Studies have also shown that some plant compounds show anti-oxidant activity in test tubes, but are actually pro-oxidant in the human body.
