I thought this discussion had been put to rest sinead. I think anyone who has any knowledge of nutrition is aware of proper diet. I have seen all of the recent and past research about clinical depression. It is commonly believed that it is a brain disorder and not due to any lack of vitamins. I think you must know that no one's body stores vitamin C. Any that is in excess is excreted through one's urine. I drink it by the quarts because I like it not to solve my cd. One needs to take care when self prescribing vitamin therapy for any reason and remain within the current government allowable amounts unless one has a * registered* dietician or a doctor's permission. There are serious things that can happen to anyone who decides to ignore these guidelines. We need to recognize that we do need a daily amount of all vitamins and trace elements, but this is one of those times where a little is plenty, but too much is still too much and foolish. *seattle * audrey friend of pwp aussie John 49/42/38? and friend with 2 others on the list now also..
