More people need to be educated on the chiral spin of molecules. You can have two of the same chemical, with vastly different effects because their curvature bonds with proteins differently. Chemistry is just now getting to the point where we can even start experimenting with different curves of molecules. Though we have long known about this phenomenon. This type of research is probably at the forefront of what we need to do chemically.

@@katcat5088 I just looked at a long list of foods that contain oxalates and how much. Kiwi's are low-moderate in it. Things like spinach, rhubarb, okra, and to a lesser extent some nuts and seeds (like almonds, cashews, etc) and certain grains/pseudo grain foods like rice bran and buckwheat are *considerably* higher in oxalates than kiwis. We're talking 16 mg per serving vs anywhere from 200 to 1500 mg per serving. Not worried about it at all, especially since I have a diet moderately high in oxalates (because I eat almonds and cashews somewhat regularly, and a lot of legumes like lentils) and I haven't even had a hint of kidney stones in my some 4 and a half decades. Thankfully I don't like spinach, rhubarb, and okra, so I'm not getting super high levels of it. This issue really is overblown, unless you are eating a ton of the former (spinach etc). I also regularly fast with lime or lemon juice water which is very good at cleansing the kidneys and helping to break up potential kidney stones. Often people who over worry about oxalates are either into keto and/or carnivore, which is ironic because these are often eating a lot of animal foods which have high levels of pesticide residues, especially in the fattier foods like butter (animals are bioaccumulators of toxins, the huge majority of which get stored in their fat). I'm A LOT more concerned with things like glyphosate than oxalates. Our bodies evolved along side and eating plenty of oxalates--but not things like glyphosate (which wrecks the intestinal lining, among other issues).

The real issue is, the synthetic C needs to be the L-ascorbic acid {natural} form, not the D-ascorbic acid {synthetic} form, which is cheap and what most companies use, usually a blend of D and L form. There are plenty of scientific studies showing the cells need to be replete in ascorbate, which will not happen with so called whole food vitamin C. Copper and ceruloplasmin are not depleted until very high doses of ascorbic acid are used, nobody mentions that, and if you have studies to prove otherwise, share them, I need more than your opinion. Using a good fully buffered, pharmaceutical-grade {or better} L-ascorbate vitamin C product that has been tested for contaminants, is absolutely a healthy supplement to include in your regimen. Mega dosing is not required. And remember, if you are eating a good diet, you are getting some whole food C already, and all you need to do is add to it with a proper C supplement.

I'm slightly confused by your commend, with respect. You stated: "There are plenty of scientific studies showing the cells need to be replete in ascorbate, which will not happen with so called whole food vitamin C." Then stated, "Mega dosing is not required...if you are eating a good diet, you are getting some whole food C already". It sounds like to me, with respect, contradictory. First you state your cells won't be replete with ascorbate with whole foods vitamin C then say if you eat a good diet you have lots of whole-food vitamin c and it feels like you were implying ...this kind of sufficient? How is it sufficient if it does not replete your cells with ascorbate?
@birage98859 ай бұрын
@@MathTutorVideos the studies that I had seen presented by Dr. Jaffee showed that it took more ascorbate than what a standard diet provides to give the cells what they need, according to the science he presented. When I refer to 'mega dosing', I was talking about 10-20 grams/day, Linus Pauling style. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irOPrZCUsr_UnJc.html Personally, due to the way food is prepared, shipped, heated and cooked, etc., I would not rely on whole foods to give my system the ascorbate that the body needs. It has been shown that even fresh food is deplete of vitamin C, since most fruit, vegetables, etc. are not ripened properly, and then what they have gets depleted in storage, shipping , and age. I don't think large mega doses are necessary unless you are fighting something. But a gram or two {not found in a day's food supply} of a clean, buffered ascorbate will give the cells what they need, without putting the body into an oxidative state. I am not a scientist, this is just the way I see it, currently. Whole foods may be 'enough', but not 'optimal'.

The study I'm referring to used 600mg and showed an average decrease of 20% in ceruloplasmin activity (link: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3694287/). Whether you should go with AA or whole food C comes down to your individual nutrient levels and what you want to achieve. So it's impossible to say without knowing who you are talking to.
@birage98859 ай бұрын
@@felix-harder Interesting. what they don't investigate is, when something lowers or raises something, does it normalize? For instance, something may cause an increase in prolactin, but then the body normalizes it after a while. Some things can raise blood pressure, but raising it is not as important as if it stays raised. So, my question would be, what ceruloplasmin levels do their' tests represent, ceruloplasmin just after taking the AA, or ceruloplasmin hours later, etc. Levels of protein carriers, hormones, enzymes, etc. can be affected spontaneously or chronically, and should be tested to verify. If something you consume changes something in your serum, how long does that last, and is it fair to say that something is overall high or low, if it is a short lived response to something. Many of these studies are missing key factors in drawing conclusions. Something I am curious about.

Linus Pauling made a convincing argument when he appeared on the Phil Donahue show (yeah, I'm old). Briefly, he said we lost the ability to produce it ourselves when we were eating a lot more fruit, but that other mammals which are similar in weight, like a goat, produce fifteen grams per day. He said if we consume that much it would be converted into other things we can use. He also warned that abrupt cessation would cause one to catch a cold or be more likely to get sick so we should taper off. I followed his advice for a couple of years back in the 80's with no ill effects, "that I know of." I did catch a cold when I quit without tapering off, and did not catch any colds while using it (I don't think that proved anything). I have always wondered if his claims were sufficiently researched, proven or debunked. However, I never looked into it. For the last twelve years I've just tried to eat from each of the color categories of vegetables to get a variety of phyto-nutrients, consume at least half a cup of beans or tofu for protein and supplement sometimes with calcium citrate, K and D. I don't think I eat especially healthy as I'm eating sugar, ice cream and alcohol in moderate amounts.

Compare and contrast Linus Pauling with Warren Buffett who drinks Coca-Cola daily, eats breakfast at McDonald's and routinely plays Bridge for his exercise, also 93 years old was diagnosed with stage 1 prostate cancer in 2012 for which he received radiation treatment and as of the current date still alive and well, although he may wear Depends now.

That is interesting! Edgar Cyce said tha Vitamin C alone is in orangejuice. But that is a hybrid. It must be activated. The vitamin C with the activating unit is in lemon. Because lemon is not a hybrid it has the factor in it to activate it. He said you should put a little bit of lemon to orange juice to activate the Vitamin C in it.

One could argue against that the natural and synthetic vitamin C molecule is the same, as in nature vitamin C forms complexes which means it is an entirely different molecule that could have different properties (yes, that is mostly until the molecule gets broken apart again but upto that point this changes the bioavailability and how it is transported in the gut) - one of my favorite examples of this is the ascorbigen molecule that is formed in cabbages and the content of which increases in fermented cabbages. It is formed by its precursor glucobrassicin. Glucobrassicin is enzymatically hydrolyzed to indole-3-carbinol, which in turn reacts with l-ascorbic acid ending up as ascorbigen. For same molar amounts, ascorbigen is more effective in the body compared to ascorbic acid alone. The indole parts of the molecule probably add their benefits. Mainly about bioavailablity though. Because the molecule breaks down in the gut if I remember correctly - but you can confirm this further Felix. Anyway, interesting topic, good video!! Edit: oh lol, I watched the video a bit further and there was ascorbigen already.. lol. Never mind. Your video quality is hard to beat.

The most natural way to obain vitamin C is to eat foods high in vitamin C. If that food is a fruit, always eat the fruit on an empty stomach and allow around 60 minutes for that fruit to digest and leave the stomach before eating any other food. Also, if eating high carb fruits cause blood glucose to spike, it is best to eat a limited amount of high carb fruits at one time.

The most important thing is to know why you should supplement vitamin C. For example, vitamin C deficiency is a problem with the quality of collagen. Our entire body is made of collagen, including our blood vessels. Long-term vitamin C deficiency is the main cause of heart disease. Vitamin C is the basis of supplementation. It is important to provide the body with vitamin C in small doses around the clock.

Ascorbic acid is used at a very fast rate when under physical, chemical or emotional stress. This can be enough to put people into scurvy. Scurvy can occur anywhere in the body. 100g. in frequent doses over 24 hours will support healing from a cold in most people. Always taper down gradually after recovery as the enzymes get used to having more ascorbic acid and process faster- if doses stopped abruptly it can cause rebound scurvy if not tapered down after a period of large doses. Dr.Thomas Levy is my go to. His research and practice and books are the most comprehensive on this matter. 🙏

I'm nearly 30 and have been taking ascorbic acid for around 15 years. I have not taken any OTC or prescription medicines in that time either, so I believe that vitamin C actually works. I take the powder version since it is cheapest and lacks any additional ingredients. Generally, I take 2,000mg daily. When I get sick from time to time, I have found for me that taking closer to 10,000mg (or more) spread throughout the day (something like 1,000mg every hour or so) helps me to overcome any sickness I've ever had. Also, gargling salt water when I have a sore throat, breathing in some peppermint oil to alleviate the pain of the sore throat, and blowing my nose a ton when I'm sick are other things I do alongside the vitamin C. Anyway, I hope this information is helpful to someone who reads it. Either way, I'm going to keep taking my vitamin C.

@Lee-pf6od Thank you for your response. Just to clarify, in case I wasn't clear, I have been sick enough to where most people would get a prescription to treat it. But, taking vitamin C has always worked for me (so far). I believe my immune system is not any better than average, but I do think it is boosted a good amount when I increase the vitamin C dose to what I previously mentioned. You're right that I can't know with 100% certainty that the vitamin C is working. It's just anecdotal evidence. Nonetheless, it appears to work consistently for me all these years. If you don't mind me asking, does supplementing with vitamin C work for you, or do you not notice much of a difference?

While I agree that if you're just wanting the effects of C taking a synthetic supplement is fine. But foods that have high vitamin C content also have other benefits as well. As I learned you can quickly end up with a whole linen closet full of supplements if you are needing one or two of them boosted, because some take away from others if you get out of balance, which is why it's good to eat a varied colorful diet of veggies and berries, small amounts of other fruits, meat protein or other non meat that has protein (not isolates as they are bad for gut health) and small amounts of carbs, unless you can get the better for you grains from Italy. I'm trying to get back to minimal supplements but it's been a bit difficult.
