Vitamin C and scar strength: analysis of a historical trial and implications for collagen-related pathologies
Am J Clin Nutr. 2021 Aug 16:nqab262. doi: 10.1093/ajcn/nqab262. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA double-blind controlled trial initiated in 1944 has led to the common narrative that a 10-mg daily vitamin C intake is adequate to prevent and treat impaired wound healing, and by inference, other collagen-related diseases such as heart disease or stroke.

Hysterectomy for men – Richard ’ s story
My wife (now 65) has had a number of minor medical problems, both mental and physical, especially after reaching 40, and when she started having panic attacks, for which no-one could provide a positive reason or cure, she finally resorted to drugs, such as sertraline, much against her natural inclination. A known side-effect of this is increased weight.  My wife has never been really overweight, but, in common with so many women, is very sensitive about the subject (perhaps more so because I CANNOT put on weight!), so when she started to increase in girth, I was reluctant to mention it, for fear of upsetting her even more...

Role of Vitamins in Cardiovascular Health: Know Your Facts-Part 2
Curr Vasc Pharmacol. 2023 Sep 11. doi: 10.2174/1570161121666230911115725. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity/mortality world-wide, hence preventive interventions are crucial. Observational data showing beneficial CV-effects of vitamin supplements, promoted by self-proclaimed experts, have led to ~50% of Americans using multivitamins; this practice has culminated into a multi-billion-dollar business. However, robust evidence is lacking, and certain vitamins might incur harm. This two-part review focuses on the attributes or concerns about specific vitamin consumption on ...
