Exclamation Vitamin C research shows a genetic danger

In doing a new page for my web site this weekend, on vitamin C, I discovered some research that has identified a specific gene which causes people with diabetes who take a lot of vitamin C to be at higher risk of death from heart attack.

The research concluded that people with diabetes shouldn't take over 250mg of vitamin C as supplements.

Presumably if you knew you didn't have the gene you could take a lot more...

Just thought I'd pass that on.
