    Linus Pauling and vitamin C

     

    (The physical damage to people he (Linus Pauling) led astray cannot be measured.)

     

    Quote from quackwach:

     

    "A flyer distributed in 1991 by the Linus Pauling Institute recommended daily doses of 6,000 to 18,000 mg of vitamin C, 400 to 1,600 IU of vitamin E, and 25,000 IU of vitamin A, plus various other vitamins and minerals.

    These dosages have no proven benefit and can cause troublesome side effects.

     

    Although Pauling's megavitamin claims lacked the evidence needed for acceptance by the scientific community, they have been accepted by large numbers of people who lack the scientific expertise to evaluate them.

    Thanks largely to Pauling's prestige, annual vitamin C sales in the United States have been in the hundreds of millions of dollars for many years.

    The physical damage to people he led astray cannot be measured." http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/pauling.html

    These were things they wrote about him dear because they did not want the media or anyone, for that matter finding out about

    what he and another doctor had discovered, because it would cut into the milions of dollars they would and do make from all the prescription meds and surgeries. I have done extensive research on this. Obviously you have not read much about it. Yes, I KNOW they TRIED making everyone believe he was a quack, but he was not. Vitamin C is perfectly safe....:-) VERY intelligent man. The only person to ever win a nobel prize twice, among other things...
