Vitamin C and the Common Cold

High doses of vitamin C are popularly recommended for the prevention and treatment of the common cold. Evidence from controlled trials is unconvincing. Chalmers (1975) reviewed 15 reports and considered that only 8 reports met the basic criteria of well-conducted scientific research. Assessment of these 8 reports gave no evidence of any beneficial effects. Similarly, Dykes and Meier (1975), reviewing only those reports that had been published in peer-reviewed journals, concluded that there was no evidence of any significant benefit. [Pg.383]

Pauling finally wearied of trying to convince medical professionals about the benefits of megadoses of vitamin C and took his case directly to the public. His book, Vitamin C and the Common Cold, was a best seller. Sales of the vitamin soared. Nevertheless, his dispute with physicians persisted, with Pauling advocating for huge doses of vitamin C and the medical profession pooh-poohing his ideas. [Pg.23]

Last year I published a small book.
