The effects of vitamin C are bullshyt.
They got popular because a Nobel prize winning scientist Linus Pauling thought he had it figure out.
He didn't. People just took everything he said as fact when its not.

So all the randomized control trials that studied the effects of vitamin C are made up?

And he's calling him President Obama. Not "Former" President Obama.
FYI
When addressing a former President of the United States in a formal setting, the correct form is “Mr. LastName.” (“President LastName” or “Mr. President” are terms reserved for the current head of state.) This is true for other ex-officials, as well.
So really, he should be address him as Mr. Obama.
Or the Obama Administration
First of all, finding one study on pubmed doesn't prove anything.So all the randomized control trials that studied the effects of vitamin C are made up?
This is why we have experts.
When you go to grad school you have sessions where you actually read research papers and see how valid they are. Most of those studies are bullshyt and have egregious and multiple cofounding errors and problems.
Just because its in a journal doesn't mean its good science. It doesn't mean the journal is reputable and it doesn't mean the authors are being honest actors.
You have people in this thread posting bullshyt from "doctors" but when you run their credentials you see they're merely charlatans and scammers pretending to be medical doctors.
You're being scammed by people who think you're too stupid to know better.
No one in academic nutrition or pharmacology or biochemistry takes anything seriously about vitamin C.
I even took a grad school seminar from the guy who discovered circulating forms of vitamin D and he was also found to be trying to push his own scam by forcing it into areas it didn't belong.
People can get too attached to issues and fill in gaps that don't exist.

Eating a good diet, sleeping well, exercise and all facets of a healthy lifestyle will help your immune system.
Links between “boosting” your immune system and any specific food or supplement are completely unproven.

I took 2 research classes in grad school. It's not just one study. There's pages of lit reviews, cohort studies, and randomized control trials that examine the effects of vitamin C in every academic database.
People in academia related to those pharmacology and biochemistry published those studies, so a lot of them do take it seriously.
And why are you posting a link to an article about Vitamin D when I'm talking about Vitamin C? Is that what they taught you in grad school?

I'm showing you an example of an expert who was deluded and bought into his own bullshyt from a personal anecdote.
Vitamin C has not been proven to be critical to anti-viral prophylaxis. Period.
You took 2 research classes. No telling what those were.
Thats nothing.
I have a whole degree in it. You don't.
