Yeah it's out there no doubt as these recommendations have been in effect for a while. Originally it was for people who liked to megadose with vit. c. Now that there are plant antioxidants out there that are extremely powerful you'll begin to see warnings on these as well (e.g. grape seed extract, pycnogenol). I know in a recent trial I was involved in, these were all parts of the study design. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo!
