Yet, you claim to have read Pauling's HOW TO LIVE LONGER AND FEEL BETTER, and still you rely on food for your requirements? I note that you are young (you said 25 years-of-age, correct), but even so, you must be on a hell of a diet, from soils not depleted and from plants not from diminished sun-light, etc. During the Korean war, our soldiers (and not the young Koreans) were found to already have heart disease (atherosclerosis)

No, Vitamin C won’t cure your cold

.Many people reach straight for the orange juice when they start to get a cold. Or pick up a Vitamin C supplement that claims to boost your immune system.
But studies have shown that Vitamin C can’t actually cure your cold.
At most, taking 1,000 mg of Vitamin C regularly could reduce your cold by a meager 8 percent. Taking it when your symptoms begin doesn’t really do anything at all. Generally, it only has an effect on people engaged in “intense physical exercise,” like marathon runners. But for regular people, it’s not much help.
So where did the belief in Vitamin C as a cold-buster come from? A Nobel Prize-winning scientist from the 1970s
