There is a definite relationship with brain size and probably low incidence of dementia on non alcoholic individuals.
Others include
Potentiates Memory and Attention
Prevention of Macular degeneration in eyes.
Possible lower incidemce of heart attacks due to antioxidant activity.
No relationship with flue or the duration of the flu.
Dose of VITAMIN C
50mg assuming the contribution from food (banana, lime, lemon mandarin and oranges) one gets the required 75mg a day.
Body does not priduc Vit C.
My bone or contention is one cannot be sure how much one gets from a fruit. There is no label on the fruit and the size of the fruit that gives 75mg.
Quantity in Vit C tablet is known.
So taking the tablet makes life simple.
No complicatuons.
It is the ripe banana that has Vit C and all Hexose and Penrose sugars.
There is a caveat here.
Tablets available are 500mg.
Simply, just divide it to 4 pieces.
If one take the 1000mg (2 tablets) the excess is passed in the urine causing light burning sensation.
Only very high doses cause oxalic acid stones in the urine.
1. NEJM is my number 1 journal for over 50+ years.
I am not a fan of BMJ especially because of its language style. Whereas, NEJM has a crisp and direct language style and there are no Shakespearian twist in expresdion.
2. I was very much involved in childhood nutrition and milk formulae from SMA, Cow and Gate, Anchor and Vitamil.
I am not a fan of Indian Amul milk.
Equally fan of milk toffee made of Nestlé Milkmaid condensed milk.
I am not familiar with Danish Arla and Australian mulk Devondale and Woolworth
3. My interest was VITAMIN fortified milk not the standard milk.
In that sense SMA and Cow and Gate were my favourites.
4. Even though Expressed Breast Milk was an option for babies maintaining a Milk Bank except for Neonates was not feasible.
5. One has to look at the label on the milk cartoon or tin to see the composition. Little bit of iron and trace elements like zink, copper and selenium are invariable in some formulae.
