Re: Question about Vitamin C
My readings have encouraged me to take only Fish Oil, Calcium and Vit D supplements. I have even stopped taking a multi vit/min. There is too much conflicting data that I have decided to make sure I have an extremely healthy diet with lots of leafy greens, etc. It is not hard to take in all the required vitamins in a good, well rounded wholesome diet. We estrogen + girls need to be extra careful but as long as we ingest the suspect elements in food as opposed to supplements we are pretty safe. Good to read the labels though. Carolyn
