@theomni222 Not compared to HCL, stomach acid.. vitamin c is rather a weak acid.. however buffering it with baking soda is the best option.

@schigara .I would have to advise to take sodium ascorbate or calcium ascorbat, if one is going to consume it in large amounts, as normal ascorbic acid is very acidic (pH 2.2).

I really want to watch the rest of that lecture. Why is the Linus pauling on VitC video material on the internet so sparse?
Someone went to the trouble of chopping out this fragment of the lecture. WHY?!?!? Upload the whole thing to google vids next time! It ain't rocket science, doh!

I bought a 500 tablets bottle at Costco and I have been eating them like candy lately!
I also had a sore throat so I've been eating two of them EVERY waking hour, on the third day, it disappeared! I don't know if it's due 100% to the vit C because I also gargled (only once) with hot water and cayenne pepper. But hey, it was effectively gone after 72 hours.
I didn't have diarrhea from taking so much vit C either, although lots of farting!
GO GO VITAMIN C!

@Theroguesunit6 It might not prevent it on its own but vitamin D especially in its purest form (sunlight) along with nutritional foods and an active lifestyle will do great wonders in preventing any diseases especially the diseases of civilization that plague western society.

There are no adverse effects from taking excessive vitamin C other than loose bowel movement. 500-1000mg a day is not very much and what you get from the pineapple is very little. All people should take at least 3000-6000mg per day in divided doses for good health and much more if you have heart disease, etc.
I have been taking 16,000mg/16grams a day for a year to reverse my atherosclerosis and the only side effect I have experienced is normal blood pressure,and cholesterol.

a few weeks ago i started vitamin c therapy, taking 1-2 grams every 4 hours (six times a day), usually 20 minutes before meals. my partner recently caught a nasty flu. i was with him almost all the time and i did not even catch a sore throat or running nose. nothing. a friend of mine had a similar experience. so i am quite convinced... p.s. i haven't taken flu vaccine in many many years.
however: carefull with teeth, rinse your mouth after each dose.
