There is much disagreement concerning the effects of vitamin C in your body. Some believe vitamin C helps ward off colds, while others believe it simply reduces the severity of colds. Several investigations report lowered blood cholesterol levels and a decrease in arterial calcification deposits which could possibly help prevent strokes and heart attacks caused by arteriosclerosis. Some report a decreased incidence of wound reopening after surgery. Still others point to possible elimination from the body of undesirable metal ions, some fat-soluble carcinogens, and pesticide residues. The subject is still highly controversial and the results of investigations are inconclusive, but there is enough evidence of an effect to warrant further research.
