Hope you will join in more of these discussions; it would help balance the opinion spectrum a bit! I happened to glance at the April '85 issue of Science 85 just out, and quote the following from their "Highlights" section: Vitamin C is ineffective as a treatment for cancer. So say doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, who found that victims of bowel cancer given large doses of vitamin C had no better survival rate than victims treated with a placebo. The report contradicts the assertions of two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, a longstanding advocate of the vitamin's powers to treat some diseases. Mmmrmmph! Don't you love the way they make it sound so final, so resolved, so unambiguous? I think you (LPI) would be doing their readers a favor to write a letter to the editor, pointing out some of the experiments you've quoted here.
