Red face most of the serious

interactions with Vit C involve changing urine pH. Very high doses of Vit C
over 500mg immediate release, acidify the urine and change the excretion of drugs.

There was a study here on the Health news forum about a recent discovery that Vit C can enhance stomach cancer. Unfortunately I did not copy it off the net and the link to it died (like news links often do). I've searched twice looking for it, in vain. But in essence it was about --and don't quote me-- taking Vit C alone that was more dangerous. Something about changing oxidation in the upper stomach. Or it might have been the reverse. I kick myself for not copying that one off quickly. I thought it would remain there for a while....drat.

I'm still looking for the original study...when I find it I will post it.
