 Ascorbic acid (the active component of vitamin c) protects against the formation of these compounds. The study revealed vitamin c inhibited conversion to carcinogenic compounds by approximately 99.7 percent.
Notably, the research team also found when dietary fats were added to the mix, the antioxidant properties of vitamin c were neutralized, and the carcinogenic N-nitrosamine was formed. |

 The drug industry calls it vitamin c. Ascorbic acid is not vitamin c, but rather a fraction, the outside layer of the biologically utilizable vitamin c complex, as shown in Figure 16.1. i- ASCORBIC ACID -1

| REPPED: The anti-cancer benefits of vitamin c can be dramatically reduced by intake of dietary fats, according to a new study conducted at the University of Glasgow. The results of the study, which simulated what happens in the human stomach, were presented earlier this month at the annual meeting of the Society of Experimental Biology in Glasgow.
Researchers investigated how vitamin c affects the acidification of nitrite in the stomach. This acidification can lead to production of potentially carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds related to stomach cancer. |

 The minimum required intake of vitamin c to maintain healthy bodily function is about 300mg to 1g per day following surgery or other procedures.
Vitamin C is required to make collagen, the connective tissue in the skin that helps healing and prevents blistering. vitamin c strengthens scar tissue and also helps reduce tissue death after burns. It also helps to strengthen the immune system and fight off infection.
But don't take processed, synthetic forms of the vitamin. Ascorbic acid is not the same thing as full-spectrum vitamin c. |
| Vitamin C: Another important component for full post-operative recovery is vitamin c. According to the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, levels of this vital compound actually drop in burn victims, post-op patients, and other victims of physical trauma. The minimum required intake of vitamin c to maintain healthy bodily function is about 300mg to 1g per day following surgery or other procedures.

 Wherever possible, consumers are advised to get their vitamin c from a whole food source, and not to confuse synthetic vitamin c (ascorbic acid) with the real thing from plants (which is full spectrum vitamin c that goes way beyond ascorbic acid). A good source of whole food vitamins is Botani (http://www.alohabay.com/botani/index.html)
In terms of topical applications of vitamin c for your skin, there's nothing on the market that even comes close to a product called Camu C Serum manufactured by the Amazon Herb Company (http://amazondreams.amazonherb.net/Lluvia_CamuSerum. |
| Foods high in vitamin c include acerola (a cherry-like fruit), red and green bell peppers, guava, kale, parsley, collard greens, turnips, and broccoli.

"These results indicate that the presence of lipid can markedly alter the protective effects of antioxidants with respect to potentially carcinogenic nitrosative chemistry occurring in the human stomach, and illustrate how a diet rich in lipids can directly influence gastric biochemistry," said lead author Emilie Combet.
Lipids are substances of the fat group and are insoluble in water. |

 For example, vitamin c boosts the immune system by detoxifying certain carcinogens and by blocking the formation of various carcinogenic compounds created when certain foods are ingested. "Vitamin C may protect against cancer because it acts as a cellular antioxidant," explains Deborah Straw in her book, Why Is Cancer Killing Our Pets?2 Dogs and cats do produce their own vitamin c but in times of illness and stress this vitamin can be depleted. |

 For instance, when I had three different dogs in my household, they didn't all get the same level of vitamin c. The puppies needed a lot more vitamin c because they were growing. I can't put that much vitamin c in my dog food. My senior dog needed a lot more vitamin c. My adult dog needed 1,000 milligrams less a day than the puppies and the senior dog. You can address the individual needs of the pet and bring a total supplement that is going to help that animal more than one bag of dog food will.
We don't have puppy formula or senior formula for that reason. |

| Vitamins C, E and A: vitamin c is highly effective at reducing free radical damage, such as that caused by overexposure to the sun or pollution. Free radicals consume collagen and elastin - the fibers that support skin structure - and can cause wrinkles and other signs of premature aging. vitamin c is especially effective at protecting the skin from overexposure to the sun when combined with vitamin E. Foods high in vitamin c include acerola (a cherry-like fruit), red and green bell peppers, guava, kale, parsley, collard greens, turnips, and broccoli. |

 Another inexpensive way to get rid of most chlorine in water is to use vitamin c. One gram of vitamin c will neutralize 1 ppm (part per million) of chlorine in 100 gallons of water. This is particularly useful if you want to lie in the bathtub without suffering the irritating effects of chlorine on your skin and in your lungs.
Prill beads are another, far less expensive, form of water treatment. Although they cannot replace a water filter, they still cleanse your drinking water and make it "thinner." This has a positive effect on the blood, lymph, and basic cellular processes. |

 For example, when comparing two vitamin c products, the average consumer will typically compare the price and number of milligrams per tablet of one vitamin c product with another. When it comes to enzymes, however, it is not quite as simple.
On the following page is a copy of the supplement facts box from the best-selling digestive enzyme product sold in health food stores, Digest Gold, manufactured by Enzymedica. Observe how the ingredients are measured. |

| The natural sources of vitamin c are oranges, peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, kiwi, rose hips, and strawberries. Basically, most fruits and vegetables supply vitamin c.
Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol) Vitamin D is fat-soluble vitamin. Sun exposure also provides vitamin D. This vitamin works with calcium and phosphorus to promote bone and tooth formation. Vitamin D deficiencies may result in malformation of bones and joints, and brittle bones. Vitamin D is in salmon, sardines, cod-liver oil, herring, and mackerel. |

 Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an important antioxidant for the body. vitamin c can help in the conversion of T4 into T3. When heavy metals, such as cadmium have interfered with the conversion of T4
26 into T3, vitamin c was shown to normalize this conversion. Inadequate vitamin c levels could cause a decrease in the conversion of T4 into T3.
Vitamins A and E
Vitamins A and E have been shown to be lower in individuals suffering from thyroid abnormalities. Correcting a deficiency in either Vitamin A or Vitamin E will improve thyroid function. |

 You'll want a high-potency vitamin c (about 1,000 mg) provided by ascorbic acid. An additional form of vitamin c, ascorbyl palmitate, which is a fat-soluble antioxidant, can enhance the formula.
You might also find antioxidant complexes with ingredients such as grapeseed extract, pine bark, blueberry extract, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin. Astaxanthin, derived from algae, is believed to be several hundred times more effective than vitamin E in neutralizing free radicals. |
| Here's an eye-opener: in the last twenty-five years the level of vitamin c deficiency in our population has gone from 3 to 5 percent to a confounding 20 percent—largely due to the shift from whole foods to processed foods.) vitamin c is essential to your body's breakdown and utilization of food, and the body can neither manufacture it on its own or store it. By the same token, you don't need to have osteoporosis to have a calcium deficiency, yet millions don't get enough calcium on a daily basis as a result of diet choices. |

 Companies that sell vitamin c, for example, cannot claim vitamin c cures scurvy without being threatened, raided at gunpoint and having their inventory confiscated by the Food and Drug Administration. Also notable: Cherry growers and cherry product manufacturers have been threatened and intimidated by the FDA over simply linking to scientific articles published in peer-reviewed medical journals which describe the health benefits of natural phytochemicals found in cherries. |

 You might also take extra vitamin c (at least 2 grams daily, but higher amounts up to individual bowel tolerance are more useful) to help flush out your intestines. Note, however, that vitamin c taken at the same time as wormwood (below) renders wormwood ineffective.

 When you have high blood sugar, vitamin c can't travel into the cells. While by itself vitamin c probably does not promote weight loss, it is depleted by stress—understand-
