VITAMIN C EYED AS CATARACT FIGHTER
Older women in a study who took vitamin C supplements for at
least 10 years were less likely to get cataracts, according to a team of
Boston researchers.Cataracts are a common part of aging; nearly half of

together and cloud the lens of the eye. As cataracts grow, they blur vision
and interfere with night vision.Exposure to sunlight and to oxidants such
as cigarette smoke seems to accelerate their formation, and...

Vitamin C's 'More': Made to Go Down Easy
Colleen Fitzpatrick, the sunshine-headed singer who calls herself
Vitamin C, is as vibrant and wholesome as her stage name. As exemplified
by the much-parodied and wept-over teen schmaltz of last summer's "Graduation
(Friends Forever)" -- a surefire concept if there ever was one -- her music
