increase their recommendations for vitamin C intake
June 1999
Gov't officials are expected to increase their recommendations for vitamin C intake...up to 100 to 200 mg/day.
200 mg/day of vitamin C is enough to saturate body tissues...and MIGHT reduce the risk of cancer.
DIETS that provide 200 mg/day of vitamin C seem to lower the risk of certain cancers...oral, esophageal, stomach, colon and lung.
