Thanks Owen, exactly what I had suspected, one can also add alcohol to Dr. Ely's

theory . The hit to the immune system by sugar is an added insult. See:

Fibiger's Work on Cancer & Sugar

 

Another good reason, from many, to ditch processed foods...

FYI - Dr. John Ely has a Glucose Antagonism Theory - that since both glucose and

Ascorbate are drawn into cells by the same insulin-mediated pathway, that too

much sugar can crowd out vitamin C. Dr. Ely says he warned Pauling about this in

the 70s, and that trials that do not try to restrict sugar will not have

" spectacular " effects.

 

Ely is just finishing a study where sugar was restricted in the subjects, and

say the results are what he expected. He says the ascorbate effect is

pronounced, timely, undeniable with sugar restrictions. This will be published

in the near future - somewhere. The study of coldsI believe.

But this is probably an important key for folks interested in maximizing their

vitamin C intake - not just serum vitamin C, but maximizing uptake to cells -

where it counts.
