Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'm not dr. betty, but I think yes, you should throw this away. All it is, is an isolated part of the " real " vitamin C. That's what you get when you buy vitamin C - ascorbic acid, which is made from corn syrup and sulfuric acid. That has nothing to do with the real vitamin C, which is a complex nutrient that is made from 9 parts. Ascorbic acid is only the outer shell of vitamin C, so you create an imbalance in your body by taking that isolated part. Where does your body get the other 8 parts from so it can use that isolated part? It will take minerals, enzymes and protein from inside your bones, your tissues, your organs, to process this isolated supplement. Instead, eat an orange very day - or eat bell peppers - those foods have the other " go with " nutrients included - the minerals, the enzymes, etc. Your body can use it all, because it's food.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Let us not forget that Linus Pauling did all his early research on vitamin C using ascorbic acid, not food source vitamin C. There are better vitamin C supplements today but the point is, during any exceptional period of stress you CANNOT get enough vitamin C from food only. And let us not forget that we now live in a biologically hostile environment that puts us in a consistently toxic mode that is best compensated for on a daily basis. We cannot wait for a medically diagnosed disease to happen before we act. --- On Sun, 8/10/08, bluegreensolutions <bluegreensolutions wrote: bluegreensolutions <bluegreensolutions Re: emergen-c and aspartic acid Date: Sunday, August 10, 2008, 3:38 PM I'm not dr. betty, but I think yes, you should throw this away.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Dear Diana, What I'm saying is all the aspartame experts I work with say if something has aspartic acid in it not to use it. I certainly wouldn't. If I found it on the label I would take it back to the store.
