It's healthy..no it's not..yes it is

I really pay very little attention to it. By the time you get done reading those articles there is another one out contradicting it.

Well for me for as long as you consume the right dosage for these vitamins then I think we should be on the safe side. Taking higher doses of these are also not good in taking these as they may cause harm. the key in here is balance and moderation on all things. The studies you are mentioning cannot be based at all because I am pretty sure there is another study that would refute that so leave them on their studies and go on with your life.

That gets on my nerves too. They keep changing their minds on what is good and bad for us. I say we live our own lives. We all have our days numbered as it is.

Oh my, I just bought a bottle of vitamin C and my husband has been taking it so help ward of a cold and boost his immune system,but from what you just said the side effects are worse then the cure. But nowadays everything is coming under fire as technology gets better and studies more reliable. Maybe it is the pill form of Vitamin C and everyone should just stick to eating fresh fruits and veggies that haven't been sprayed with chemicals. It would seem that the world will continue the yo-yo effect also because you might have one group say it is bad then another group say it isn't like with eggs and now corn syrup which I have been seeing ads of lately more and more. I guess we just have to choose what path me want to believe and follow it wherever it may lead.

I thought one took vitamin C to prevent colds and it had nothing to do with heart disease. And I suppose it was those who had eaten enough vitamin C or more then enough in their diets, just as what the case was with Vitamin E. So one never knows about these studies. They have not put all the facts together. So who is paying for the study?

I have never listened to anything the so called experts say. I consider myself a very healthy person, and I don't take any extra vitamins, but I eat fairly well. The way I see it, I don't want to live too long anyways. I don't want to be so old I can't care for myself anymore. I don't want to end up in a nursing home, not being able to speak or use the bathroom, or bathe by myself. I don't want someone to have to feed me or dress me. I'd rather leave this world with my dignity in tact at a decent age, and fully capable. So, if that means I don't get to see 100, so be it.

I'd rather have a quality life than too many years. And for me, quality life means not taking pills on a daily basis, being able to eat junk food if I so choose, and of course sharing my life with my family.

People lived quality lives long before these so called experts came out and told them that everything they were doing was bad for them. Maybe they only lived to be about 60 or 70, but they lived well, and loved life. Well if you ask me, that lifestyle wasn't broken... so why try to fix it?

I heard this on my local news last night (Sunday) as well.
Too many tests beinf done on too many things as usual.
I only heard this because of me taking care of my dad whom has heart problems.
It interested me from the promo ads.
Then when the story cam on I thought, "Great another test result story."
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I don't even read most of these articles. There are so many variables in the studies that they don't discuss and you never know who actually paid for the study to be performed.
It's amazing how many times these "studies" come out with such nonsense, then you find out that some major food or drug company paid for the study. Of course a drug company won't want you taking vitamin suppliments. What would happen to their profit and loss sheet if everyone was suddenly healthy?
I've read about so many studies that were discredtied. Studies that claimed some vitamin or whole food suppliment has links to cancer or heart disease, or some other disease. Then, months or even years later, you find out that the study already included people that had the disease and that's how they came about their numbers.
It's funny how you never hear that some big fast-food company did a study about obesity, or heart disease with their food and they found that their food can be linked to a disease. They may have done one, but they certainly would never make it public.

My point is, without knowing the diet, the current health condition of the people being studied and who is funding the study, any info you receive about the study may not pertain to you or your family. Listen to what your physician tells you. He knows your past history, current health, etc and can determine what's best for you.
Don't believe everything you read, sometimes there's an ulterior motive behind it.

Well, I am initially disinclined to believe that.. but we'll see what medical science says after a bit of time to review the details. As far as I can tell, overall, Vitamin C is good. (Especially if you eat fresh fruit to get it.)

I believe all the studies are right. Sounds strange huh.. Well our bodies although they are the same they are also just as different. I think they work for some and not for others. What does one put into body what kind of enviroment do they live in and so forth. How ones body reacts to it.
