Miracle Pills or Propaganda? Vitamin C and Calcium, What Else Do You Have In Your Cabinet?

The Inner Biochemist

I’ll bet you didn’t know!

…I bet you didn’t know vitamin C causes destruction of proteins in your body, which will accelerate the aging process?

..I bet you didn’t know that vitamin C will cause formation of the toxic chemical pentosadine, a marker for premature aging and the tissue destruction?

…I bet you didn’t know that vitamin C depletes your body of many minerals and trace mineral nutrients? In order to eliminate vitamin C from your body you need to chelate every excess molecule of vitamin C with calcium, magnesium, zinc, or other minerals and trace minerals – and that’s the only way the kidneys can dump vitamin C!

The Inner Biochemistry of Vitamin C

…I bet you didn’t know that vitamin C will actually cause high cholesterol in certain cases?

…I bet you didn’t know that the “antioxidant” vitamin C actually decreases the activity of ceruloplasmin, one of your body’s most important antioxidants.

…I bet you didn’t know that vitamin C will convert the mineral iron to a form that damages the blood vessels, and leads to hardening of arteries and heart blockage?

…I bet you didn’t know some people will go into hypoglycemic crises from vitamin C, and in certain cases it can push a diabetic into ketoacidosis…

Recipe: Baby Carrots, Asparagus on Brown Rice With Kale

Kale (also called Borecole) is a form of cabbage, green in color, in which the central leaves do not form a head. It is considered to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms. The species Brassica oleracea contains a wide array of vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. Kale is considered to be one of the most highly nutritious vegetables, with powerful antioxidant properties and is anti-inflammatory

Baby Carrots, Asparagus on Brown Rice With Kale Vegetarian Recipe

Baby carrots and asparagus with dijon/dill mustard sauce: Steam the veggies until tender – or cook on low heat in a pan with little or no oil. Add a spoon of dijon mustard, and something to sweeten – I recommend Stevia, but maple syrup, agave, or brown rice syrup would work too. Add chopped fresh dill to taste. Avoid refined sugars and use alternatives such as listed above.

With this one I also cooked brown rice and the greens are kale stems with onion, then add the leaves chopped up to wilt and raisins at the end. Season it on your plate with a bit of olive oil and Bragg’s liquid amino’s.
