Misled about vitamin C

I cannot believe the Deseret News allows Amy Donaldson to pose as some sort of expert on nutrition (Sept. 11, Page C1). Scientific research affirms that megadoses of vitamin C do nothing to cure colds, prevent headaches or lengthen your life. And, yes, you can overdose on vitamin C if you take enough of it, just like anything else. The sources she quotes in her article are health food store purveyors who exist to sell the public their wares.
