North Coast Organic

But things that aren't blocked ... (21/2/2021)
Facebook might be blocking real news, but sharing this sort of thing is still allowed.

Showing the normal quackery grasp of chemistry (and all other science), this peddler of "organic" nonsense (in business since 1922) had this to say:

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning that your body doesn’t store it. You have to get what you need from food, including citrus fruits, broccoli, and tomatoes. When individuals are not getting enough vitamin C in their diets, they often take synthetic vitamin C supplements. Nearly all vitamin C supplements on the market are made from ascorbic acid.

The article then went on to cite various other "reputable" naturopaths and quacks and even managed to misinterpret some actual scientific research, all telling of the dangers of this dreadful artificial acid.

The short version (or TL;DR, as they say on the Internet) is this:

Vitamin C is Ascorbic Acid.

I think I'll keep taking the pills made by Big Pharma. Oh, and ascorbic acid is an organic chemical compound in the real meaning of the word "organic", not the marketing meaning.
