Thanks angiew for the link, and thank you Davids1 for the cogent response.

Little in that article makes sense, at least to me, unless it is an attempt to confuse doctors and heart patients about antioxidants.

Angiew, since you seem to have taken an interested in vitamin C and heart disease, one book you might put on your reading list is the Hickey/Roberts ASCORBATE: The Science of Vitamin C (lulu.com/ascorbate). Their dynamic flow theory explains the how and why the half-life of vitamin C is so short in the blood. The 30 minutes half-life has little to do with getting vitamin C to tissues, which gobble vitamin C in the blood up when they need it.
