To those peddling or popping vitamin C this season, educate yourself: ...Paulings vitamin C recommendations were based on theoretical arguments and that we now have much more scientific information upon which to base recommendations [29]. This certainly is true but glosses over the fact that Paulings meganutrient theories were absurd and were maintained even after scientific studies refuted them. Although Paulings megavitamin claims lacked the evidence needed for acceptance by the scientific community, they have been accepted by large numbers of people who lack the scientific expertise to evaluate them. Thanks largely to Paulings prestige, annual vitamin C sales in the United States have been in the hundreds of millions of dollars for many years.
