Vitamin C Forum

"Life Extension has reviewed thousands of C-reactive protein blood test results over the years. Our consistent observation is that overweight and obese individuals have stubbornly elevated C-reactive protein levels.18 Our findings were confirmed in a recent study that showed overweight and obese individuals are far more likely to have elevated C-reactive protein. In fact, obese people are three times more likely to have elevated C-reactive protein levels than normal-weight individuals." http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2010/sep ... ase_01.htm is an article at the Life Extension Foundation.

Vitamin C and heart disease are discussed.

I have a lot of respect for Life Extension (lef.org) however, in their laudable effort to be diligent and base their recommendations on scientific studies, they miss the outright cure for heart disease! This is because there have been NO studies of the Pauling Therapy in the dosages he recommended!

To LEF's credit, a few years back when the Professor in California found that neck arteries "thickened" in people supplementing vitamin C, (the implication was that this was a bad thing), Life Extension checked their high-vitamin C customers and found a surprising lack of heart disease.

Looking for that study/article:
