Thought it might be worth replaying
this one as this is the beginning of the cold and
flu season.
Hundreds of studies have now concluded that vitamin
C does not treat the common cold. The results of
many studies of various types, involving hundreds of
thousands of people from around the world have all
arrived at the same conclusion - vitamin C has no
effect to prevent or cure colds or cancer.
The FDA, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the
American Medical Association, the American Dietetic
Association, the Center for Human Nutrition at the
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and
the Department of Health and Human Services do not
recommend supplemental vitamin C for the prevention
or treatment of colds. Vitamin C does have other
benefits and the studies did not say vitamin C is
bad for you, it just does not provide the cancer and
common cold remedies claimed.
