I love to drink lots of vitamin c. But recently,I stumbled upon an online article that says that too much vitamin C can be a factor on infertility. Do you believe it?what are your insights about it?

This is very interesting if it is true. I have always believed that taking in vitamin c is good for health and there is no overdose. Hopefully this will be clarified.

any vitamin as a supplement taken in excess is harmful. but vitamins from natural foods may not be harmful.

Shocking!!! Well as an ordinary person and not quite of a scientist, I found it hard to believe.Can you give the link of that article so I can also read it. But as far as I am concerned, Internet has lots of fake things, so I hope this is too. Fingers Crossed.

well another thing is that, i have read in some studies that yes, vitamin C does protect you from certain diseases, it is an antioxidant along with vitamins A and E, but did you know, more than the infertility issue, that vitamin c intake might be a possible risk factor for certain types of bronchogenic cancer... moral lesson: dont use anything u dont need; everything in excess is also bad.

well u know.. in medicine we recommend mega doses of vitamin c for certain diseases. just that it's funny though that certain studies would not approve for. such that in ur case i think it has to be proven that vitamin c does really affect fertility, i think u failed to mention the kind of people who took vitamin c that had a direct effect on their fertility. i believe that there are more than several factors that might have contributed to this other than taking vitamin C

Well, I think the amounts you would have to drink are really high aren't they? I mean almost anything in really high doses is bad for you in some way. The saying everything in moderation really applies to almost everywhere in life. And I too like to drink lots of things with vitamin C, especially orange juice! So I hope that won't make my little friend shoot blanks... haha
