Question 1

i am bringing fruit to a luncheon where one of the ladies is allergic to vitamin c. is there a fruit i can bring that doesn't have vitamin c?

Accepted Answer

Not to worry: The individual in question knows what she can and can not eat. Although I do not subscribe to the idea that the allergy is vitamin c, undoubtedly the individual has certain foods that trigger a reaction. You will cause her no harm for the foods to be touching, she can choose waht to eat and what not to eat.

Question 2

how much vitamin c is in amla fruit?

Accepted Answer

Amla Fruit: Good question. The answer seems to be controversial.   Indian gooseberry (Amla fruit). is reported by some sources to have 600  to 1800 mg of ascorbic acid per 100 grams.  However, others contest this and state that studies for acorbic acid content were done a long time ago &amp; were inaccurate.

Question 3

what other foods or fruits could be sources of citrus/ vitamin c asides orange?

Accepted Answer

Many: Any citrus fruit will provide vitamin c. Also, strawberries have more vitamin c in them than oranges. Just be sure to get organic strawberries, as non-organic strawberries are full of pesticides.

Question 4

is eating alot of fruits/veggies high in vitamin c better for body than just taking a supplement?

Accepted Answer

Whole foods are: better than supplements generally speaking.  Our food supply presently has poorer nutritional value than it used to so that in addition to a good diet, a good mulitvitamin is a protection for vitamins we may be low on.  Peace and good health.

Question 5

what is the difference between vitamin c & vitamin c bioflavanoids ? and which of them are safe to take if we are not eating vegies or fruits? suggest

Accepted Answer

The vitamin C in: dietary supplements is usually in the form of ascorbic acid, but some supplements have other forms such as sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate, other mineral ascorbates, and ascorbic acid with bioflavanoids. Research has not shown that any form is better than the other forms. All are safe, but eating fruits and veggies is WAY better!! Please eat them:)
