It's probably no secret to you that I don't like fruit. So imagine how pleased and guilt-free I was to discover this:
The myth of Vitamin C and the common cold
If you can''t be bothered to click on the link, the bottom line is (quote):
In controlled trials about the effects of vitamin C, for example, “doses have been up to 6 grams per day, and as far as I know, that would correspond to some 18 kilograms of oranges per day and quite a similar dose of orange juice.”
So, time to start fruit-shopping at MercaBarna instead of Mercadona!
PS. Surely putting slices of orange on top of your eyes is not a good idea?
