You are not a Toskos but a Turkos.
Hasn't Aphrodite got the word "Aphro" in it???
"Aphro" means "foam" .... like the stuff
inside your skull as opposed to the other "Afro",
outside your skull ....
The Cypriot is the Forum spell check and you the Forum Gramaphaticator...
What did you think of the article I sent you......Still waiting for a response
I thought I gave you a quick analysis on why it is more harmful to cancerous cells than healthy cells ...
(i.e. stimulates the immune system which fights off the cancer).
Anyway, I forgot to go back and read the article
Sorry ... will do later ....
The question I asked was for you after you read the article!!!
Well a quick skim suggests they are looking at its role as a free radical quencher which stops things being oxidised so the preventative capacity from that is that it should stop cells becoming cancerous in the first place as free radicals damage DNA and other proteins which may in turn lead to poorly replicating DNA.
They briefly mention Vitamin C's role in collagen but fail to go on and explain that collagen has to break down in order for some cancers to spread (which is their most harmful property).
It's quite dated research and I'm sure a lot more has been done since 1978 ... but I don't have time to check what is going on in that field at the moment ....
As for your question ... it's not that Vitamin C gives life to anything ... it just keeps things working healthily which in turn prevents cells becoming transformed into cancer in the first place...
1 to 2 grams per day seems to be the dose for keeping things in optimum health (but you'll need to check with a GP as it is an acid and people with ulcers may aggravate them).
Sorry to devote so little time to this ... I am interested, but I've got a pile of stuff on the go and I don't want to lose focus .... In time!
