Vitamin C may fight cataracts
Older women who took vitamin C supplements for at least 10 years
were less likely to get cataracts, a team of Boston researchers reports.
Cataracts are a common part of aging; nearly half of adults age 65 and
older have at least one cataract. They are created when proteins clump
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...

diets. It is well known that vitamin C figured in the first documented
nutrition experiment. In 1747, James Lind, a British doctor, discovered
that sailors fed citrus fruit were quickly cured of scurvy.The vast...

Vitamin C's value in cold prevention disputed
BOSTON - An Australian researcher said vitamin C appears to
have "no worthwhile" value for preventing the common cold and may have
only "a small therapeutic" effect for treating sniffles, sneezing and other
symptoms. Dr. A. Stewart Truswell of the University of Sydney, reporting
in a letter to The New England Journal of Medicine, reviewed 27 studies
in the medical literature on the value of vitamin C for preventing and

65-year study shows minimal effect of vitamin C on colds
A new review of 65 years of research on colds and vitamin C
concludes there's little evidence that 200 milligrams or more a day wards
