WARNING – What Happens To Our Body If We Consume 1 Bag Of Vitamin C

This vitamin C-based fizzy powered dink named Emergen-C suggest that it provides people with energy boost, elevated immunity response, and the benefit of overall health. However, there is something wrong with it. The first thing is that their general website admits that it uses GMO products but do not say which of them are GMO. They say that they choose non-GMO products whenever possible, but cannot guarantee that all of their raw materials are sourced from non-GMO ingredients.

One of the greatest drug manufacturers in the world is a facility in New Jersey which is owned by Hoffman-LaRoche and more than 90% of the ascorbic acid there is manufactures in this facility. Most of the U.S. vitamin companies buy this acid which is made from cornstarch and volatile acids. The companies make their own product formulations, and then label the product claims including the exact same synthetic vitamin C.

What is wrong with Ascorbic Acid?

Ascorbic acid and vitamin C is not the same thing. People are not aware that almost all vitamin C in dietary supplements are synthetic as it is impossible to get much more than 100-150 mg of it from food into a tablet. So, the vitamin C sold in grocery is actually man-made chemical copy of naturally occurring absorbing acid, and this is not vitamin C at all, but is a chemical, by-product of sulfuric acid and GMO sourced cornstarch derivative. The synthetic vitamins in great doses have toxic effects and can increase the white blood cell count.

The director of integrative gastrointestinal nutrition services at the Johns Hopkins Hospital says that vitamin C in high doses can cause kidney stones. An amount greater than 500 mg daily is enough to cause an issue, and that is only half a 1-gram packet of Emergen-C.

Health dangers of Ascorbic Acid

• Synthetic vitamin C, or ascorbic acid kill the beneficial probiotic bacteria in the gut;
• React with iron in “enriched” foods and cause neurological conditions;
• Increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes;
• Cause increased risk of kidney stones;
• Ascorbic acid impairs muscle’s mitochondrial function and adaptability to exercise.

According to Sandquist, there are adverse reactions to synthetic vitamin C like stomach cramps, diarrhea, and nausea that occur, while les common a side effects are insomnia, decrease in progesterone, headache, heartburn, vomiting, throat irritation, gluten reactions, allergic reactions, and poor drug interactions.

Consider organic foods rich in vitamin C if you look for a natural energy and immune booster. They are: citrus fruits, green peppers, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, leafy greens, cantaloupe, papaya, mango, watermelon, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, red peppers, raspberries, blueberries, winter squash, and pineapples.

It is not that easy to eat enough fruits and vegetables in order to maintain good health. One option is whole food vitamins which are derived from whole foods that contain complex nutrients our bodies need.
