Vitamin C may suppress artery re-clogging
People who take vitamin C after undergoing surgery to open up
heart arteries may prevent the arteries from re-clogging.Re-clogging of
heart arteries, or restenosis, after the surgery is a significant problem
for many people with heart disease, and vitamin C may be a harmless and
inexpensive way to prevent this condition, researchers led by Dr. Haruo
Tomoda of the department of cardiology at Tokai University in Kanagawa,
Japan, reported in the Dec. 1 issue of the Journal of the American...

RECOMMENDED DOSE OF VITAMIN C TOO LOW
Americans should get more than triple the daily amount of vitamin
C now recommended, a team of researchers will report today.An extensive
study of America's most popular vitamin has found that 200 milligrams is
the best dose, compared with the 60 milligrams now contained in most multivitamin
supplements. Above 400 milligrams, money spent on the vitamin may literally
go down the drain, as most higher doses simply pass through the body unabsorbed.The
new research, appearing...

VITAMIN C TWICE A DAY MAY KEEP DOCTOR AWAY
People who believe that large doses of vitamin C every day can
keep the doctor away should think twice. More precisely, they should take
two doses a day for maximum effect, according to a new study.Released just
in time for flu season, the study found that the largest sensible dosage
of vitamin C is 500 milligrams taken by pill every 12 hours. That is the
most the human body can handle, according to the report published this
week by the gerontology journal Age. That dosage maintains a...

Here's How Vitamins Really Can - And Can't - Improve Your Health
Despite all that's been written about vitamins - or maybe because
of it - we get lots of reader mail about them. Lately questions have centered
on the cancer-protecting qualities of the increasingly famous antioxidants
(beta-carotene, a plant-based precursor of vitamin A, and vitamins C and
E).Many people still wonder whether vitamins will give them more energy
or prevent colds and whether taking enough vitamins can take the place
of a balanced diet. It's not easy...

Smokers need more vitamin C than non-smokers
If you smoke, you probably need more vitamin C. That's because
smoking depletes so much vitamin C that smokers must consume more than
200 milligrams of the vitamin per day to stay even with non-smokers who
get only 60 milligrams. Thus, about 57 percent of non-smokers get enough
vitamin C but only 9 percent of smokers do.So concludes Gordon Schectman
at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, after comparing the diets
and vitamin C blood levels of 11,582 adults. In a...

VITAMIN C INTAKE LINKED TO BLOOD PRESSURE
If you want a possible new antidote for high blood pressure,
try vitamin C. There's growing evidence high blood pressure may be partly
due to a lack of vitamin C, insists British expert Dr. Christopher J. Bulpitt.Writing
recently in a medical journal, he cited these observations: Death from
stroke, associated with high blood pressure, is highest in regions where
people have the lowest intake of vitamin C.Blood pressure is lower in individuals
who consume more vitamin...

Scientists take heart in finding about vitamin C
The old theory about vitamin C, that it helps prevent the common
cold, still hasn't proved true. But a new study says it might help prevent
something more important: heart disease. A study tracking more than 85,000
nurses over 16 years found that those taking vitamin C supplements had
a 28 percent lower risk of getting heart disease. "Mama was right - drink
your orange juice," joked Dr. Joel Strom, director of the division of...

PUMP UP THE vitamin volume EXPERTS RECOMMEND A DAILY DOSE
Who didn't snicker at health-book descriptions of scurvy-stricken
sailors, those poor sods with swollen gums and loose teeth from months
at sea deprived of vitamin C-rich fruits? Now the laugh's on us. Recent
findings have capsized the notion that only sufferers of those classic
vitamin deficiency diseases - with memorable names such as scurvy, rickets
and beriberi - need to take vitamin supplements. While those diseases are
rare in Western societies, evidence
