Low Vitamin C, Increases Risk of Cataract Formation

Low Vitamin C, Increases Risk of Cataract Formation

C things more clearly

If you’re still not convinced that you need more vitamin C than the puny doses recommended by the so-called government experts, perhaps the following will help bring you to your senses.

Between 1976 and 1980, investigators conducted a study of 4,001 volunteers to determine the various factors that might be related to cataract formation.

They discovered that when blood levels of vitamin C were low, the incidence of cataracts increased, and when blood levels were high, the risk decreased. For every 1 mg/dl increase in vitamin C, there was a 26 percent decrease in cataracts.

The bottom line? You need vitamin C, and lots of it. Shoot for at least 1,200 milligrams a day.
