Next up: vitamin c tablets. We won't stop until scurvy is in full come back!
Someone here recently said RFK is literally just Pestilence incarnate, and I don't think they are wrong. The dude is the Randall Flagg of diseases. Just waiting for his actual bugchaser arc. Then he'll plan a mass gathering and dissolve like Gravemind into deadly spores.
I bet C will stay forever because some successful marketing campaign convinced people it's a natural remedy against all types of colds and flu, despite being worthless for that cause. Science ain't got nothing on a good commercial.
if you have basically any access to fresh food you don’t need to take vitamin C, even half a small potato will give you an entire days worth of of vitamin C and anything more than that will be peed out anyway. Unless you ban all fresh food people will be getting enough vitamin C, this isn’t a 1600s pirate ship, no one needs to supplement it, the supplements are a pure cash grab
Vitamin C supplements are mostly bullshit anyway. Almost nobody needs them.
I don't know. You can't overdose on Vitamin C. Rubes don't like a cure-all unless it's really bad for you. Vitamin A is the new panacea.
You can overdose on Vitamin C, it just takes way more than for fat soluble vitamins and minerals (also not usually fatal). Two 500mg tablets per day has shown a strong increase in long term kidney stone formation. One whole bottle (10g) in a day is “almost certain severe diarrhea within hours; transient hyper-oxaluria, especially risky for people with renal issues. “
