Vitamin C is not medicine

Medicine Vitamins
In recent years, there were indeed quite messages, contrary to allegations healing capabilities of Vitamin C. In the article in the British Journal "Times" is a story about sensational discovery of doctors from the University Laysestar Lechestshir in the county. Data on their standard dose of a widely advertised antiheart ilnesses means Vitamin C body not to prevention and deepening of certain diseases. Burden of research on 30 healthy men and women were divided into two groups: 6 over 6 weeks one group received daily Vitamin C, and the other - something harmless form of the same Vitamin. The first group felt much better in the second and all well to reach the daily dose of 500 mg of Vitamin C.
With increasing the dose above 500 mg appeared problems. In 600 mg of wonderful vitamin in the blood increase the amount of free radicals, destroyed DNA. This, in turn, may become a reason for cancer, for heart disease and accelerated aging. S0Supporters of vitamin C always focus mainly on the property to its associated radioactive radicals that can cause destruction (oxidation) of genetic material (DNA) of humans and lead to aging. But test results of English scientists, published in the magazine "Neychar", practical destroys the well known ideas about vitamin C. Group of thirty completely healthy volunteers receiving traditional therapeutic dose of 500 mg ascorbic acid per day. Then their leykocites (white blood cells) are tested for specific markers appearing in the blood in oxidation of DNA. If vitamin C actually stand for-oxidative processes in the body, then their concentration theoretically should decline. In fact, different things stood. Concentration of oxyguanin actually decreasing, but oxyadenin increased. After the volunteers stopped intake of vitamins for several weeks, the quantities of one and the other 6 tag blood reached normal.
