What's wrong with the Express? My mother in law gives it to me to read but I use it to mix with my grass clippings, and other household rubbish, on the compost heap. Loads of pages!

Vitamin C is ascorbic acid and is naturally found in nature, while some animals have the ability to produce their own vitamin C, human beings do not produce vitamin C themselves and are totally reliant on the vitamin C they get in their diets. If we don't eat vitamin C then within about six weeks we develop the signs of deficiency of vitamin C.

I'll be serious (..or is that boring??)

Not a doc but this is what I have found out.

Vit C isn't belived to be harmful in large doses as the body expels it. But large doses do cause the runs (wish it helped me on long runs )

I was told though that you need to have sufficnt zinc to asbsorb the Vit C and so I now take Vic C with zinc (you can buy it like that) when run down.

Also when run down I take echinacea (....can never spell that)

I haven't had a cold is aaaages...mind you had every other bloody thing wrong with me lol

Speaking of zinc: it's Marmite on toast time!!
