Study
Links Vitamin C to Lower Death Rates |
Researchers studied the levels of vitamin C
in nearly 20,000 men and women, aged 45-79, living in Norfolk in eastern England. Each
person filled out a health and lifestyle questionnaire and they were examined at the start
of the study, when concentrations of vitamin C in their blood plasma were also recorded.
A four-year follow-up showed the levels of vitamin C concentrations were inversely related
to deaths from all causes including cardiovascular disease.
"Those people with the highest levels of vitamin C have a 50 percent reduction
in their mortality levels." |
