In early 2020, as the staged and fake Covid-19 swept the world stage with Chinese actors dying in the streets, only to be followed by dancing nurses in empty hospitals, I wrote an article about the totally useless and very toxic vitamin C, as some of the sheeple turned to this laughable supplement to fight off the imaginary ‘rona.

So, as I have received several requests about a deep-dive into vitamin C, and the fraudulent “isolation” of vitamins in general, let’s do just that!

In modern nutrition, vitamin C is hailed as an essential nutrient, often synonymous with ascorbic acid found in supplements or plant foods like citrus fruits. However, a deeper examination rooted in anthropology, biology, physiology, biochemistry, and historical literature reveals a different story. What is marketed as “vitamin C” today, typically synthetic ascorbic acid, bears little resemblance to the bioactive forms integrated into animal tissues and human physiology. This article will explore the flawed historical process of isolating ascorbic acid, critique its biochemical validity, and emphasize why humans, as hypercarnivores, thrive without supplemental forms. Drawing from older literature predating the influence of food- and supplement industries (circa pre-1900s,) we uncover how pseudoscientific assumptions have perpetuated a dangerous myth. [...]
