Vitamin C

Regular intake of vitamin C may reduce cancer risk in smokers. This smoking causes a rapid deficiency of vitamin E, scientists say. Smokers should eat lots of vitamin C.

Synthetic vitamin significantly increases the risk of heart disease, at least in diabetes pacients. Study by U.S. experts based on observations of 1923 diabetics, of which over 15 years 281 people died of a heart attack. Then the researchers excluded from the statistics of other known risk factors for circulatory disease, experienced a shock.

Consume a pill every morning with vitamin C, believing that protects the body against colds and flu, according to scientists is nonsense. That the regular intake of ascorbic acid wasting money for nothing cheap medication, the experts found the review of many studies over the last sixty years. Pill and regular use have said in the prevention of colds and flu, little or almost no effect.

Vitamin C had been recently one of the last molecules whose biosynthesis has not yet been fully elucidated. This is not long but what a group of scientists from the University of California, Los Angeles and Dartmouth Medical School who is studying genes normally associated with aging and the development of cancer in animals, discovered the last part of a difficult puzzle. Dr. Steven Clarke of the Institute of Molecular Biology and Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA explains: "We have concerned ourselves very remarkable nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans gene. we got a series of new knowledge, until we discovered the last unknown enzyme in plant vitamin C biosynthesis" said Dr. Charles Brenner of the department Genetics at Dartmouth Medical School.

It is generally believed that, in atherogenesis has an essential role oxidative stress. Substances with antioxidant action should therefore be the development of atherosclerosis and prevent the occurrence of cardiac events, particularly if they were used in the early phase of atherosclerotic process. But the results of clinical studies are not clear, perhaps because patients enrolled in trials were a variety of advanced atherosclerotic changes or because the doses of vitamin C were not optimal.

Vitamin C can prevent some of the damaging effect they can have smoking during pregnancy on the unborn child. U.S. medical researchers from the University of Oregon to verify the administration of high doses of vitamin monkeys that were exposed to nicotine. The researchers, who published their results in the latest issue of the journal American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, recommend to quit smoking during pregnancy, or better still before it.

A recent study confirmed what many physicians such as Dr. Wright believed for a long time: high-dose vitamin C can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease.

Intake of vitamin C reduces the risk of early re-entry atrial fibrillation in patients after cardioversion. Cardioversion is a treatment method for disabling an arrhythmia. Performed by using a special device-defibrillator, which allows the body to transmit electrical discharge around 200J using two electrodes attached to the chest.

Due to the role in collagen synthesis, vitamin C is essential for the integrity of connective tissue of the eye. Eye tissue is very susceptible to damage by free radicals, potentially causing cataract (cataract) and macular degeneration. Many studies confirmed the effect of vitamin C in gray cataracts.

Here you can read about 15 ways how vitamin C fights aging and prolongs life. Lowers high blood pressure. Increases levels of good HDL cholesterol.

Vitamin C in high doses inhibits the growth of cancerous tumors - at least in laboratory mice. But the vitamin for this purpose must not be administered orally, but must be injected directly into the abdominal cavity or into the blood. Informed the researchers of the American Academy of Sciences, whose conclusions were published on the Internet.

Ester-C is the most advanced available form of vitamin C. It was developed for faster absorption and retention in the tissues. Ester-C is molecularly associated with calcium, thus has a neutral pH and therefore does not irritate the stomach lining as other acidic form of vitamin C.

Number of occurences of influenza and epidemic viruses reaches the top in the following days. Nevertheless, there is a relatively inexpensive way to successfully tackle infections. Vitamin C, which exists in various forms, can help.

Vitamin C, injected in large doses, slows the growth of malignant tumors. It is expected that this new discovery will have a major impact on the successful fight with cancer. Doctor Linus Pauling, a Nobel laureate in chemistry in 1954, came up with the idea that vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid may be effective in fighting cancer as in early 1970.

Regular consumption of fruit and vegetables protects against diabetes. Eating live bacterial cultures protects against bladder cancer. According to the study, foods rich in vitamin C reduce the risk of disease to diabetes.
