Hi there Mark,
That's a nice link, with a good summary of the overall benefits of having a
good Vit C intake.
However, they did NOT really go into any of the adverse affects at any
length, but seemed to me to tend to be rather dismissive of the possibility.
Nor did they mention the advisability of including rutin along with the Vit
C supps, although they admitted that the accompanying nutrients found in
fruit and vegetables may be responsible for some of the beneficial effects
found in some studies.
While not supporting any particular position, I did find this other article
(below) particularly relevant to my own health status. Sometimes it's hard
to know just what IS the best option regarding the amount of daily intakes
of Vit C, and whether supps are as safe as the normal dietary food sources .

Dr Kraus seems to have a much more conservative approach to the amount of
Vit C that is suitable for maintaining good health.
