issues in beer and bread making. He ultimately was granted patents for the
use of ascorbate in these processes. He started supplementing his diet with
relatively large amounts of vitamin C shortly after he started this work and
became convinced that this contributed significantly to his health. I

new ideas, particularly when they come from non-doctors. But that's changing.
Most doctors now say that you should be taking vitamin C supplements, whereas
30 years ago that was heresy. Another obstacle is insistence on double blind
testing to validate the benefits of vitamin C. Each person has different
requirements for C, which vary depending on stress. In order to get the full
benefit, a person needs to adjust the amount of C being taken depending on
stress levels and need to be able to titrate themselves. (<a
