Thanks
Owen, exactly what I had suspected, one can also add
alcohol to Dr. Ely's theory . The hit to the immune system by sugar is an
added insult. See:
Fibiger's Work on Cancer & Sugar
Another good reason, from many, to ditch processed foods...

FYI - Dr. John Ely has a Glucose Antagonism Theory - that since both glucose and
Ascorbate are drawn into cells by the same insulin-mediated pathway, that too
much sugar can crowd out vitamin C. Dr. Ely says he warned Pauling about this in
the 70s, and that trials that do not try to restrict sugar will not have
"spectacular" effects.
Ely is just finishing a study where sugar was restricted in the subjects, and
say the results are what he expected. He says the ascorbate effect is
pronounced, timely, undeniable with sugar restrictions. This will be published
in the near future - somewhere. The study of
colds I believe.
But this is probably an important key for folks interested in maximizing their
vitamin C intake - not just serum vitamin C, but maximizing uptake to cells -
where it counts.
