You Can't take Enough Vitamin C To Make Difference

Did I get your attention? I was told the other day by a family member that you can’t take enough Vitamin C to make a difference in your health. A recent heart incident put them in the hospital and this is what their doctor tells them. “I’ve looked into it, and you can’t take enough to make a difference”. Of course my mouth dropped. This, after a conversation regarding why people have heart issues. Of course the doctor says its red meat and fat, so change your diet. That IS good advice, for the most part. While that clearly needed to be done for this person, like 10 years ago (so much for that vitamin C that our body’s DON’T make and we need to get from FOOD) I interjected to say it’s not about red meat or fat consumption in general, it’s about INFLAMMATION (and coincidently, Vitamin C reduces inflammation, but I digress). Yes, doctors are still vilifying red meat (and fat) and ignoring the elephant in the room. It’s a tiresome conversation and one that I have to have on occasion to more willing participants, but necessary nonetheless.
