Vitamin C Lowers Levels Of Heart Disease Biomarker, Finds Study, Adds To Debate Of Health Benefits

Still think they have any idea what a "healthy" supplement is? 

Or what a good test is for predicting heart disease?
"A new study led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, adds to the evidence that vitamin C supplements can lower concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), a central biomarker of inflammation that has been shown to be a powerful predictor of heart disease and diabetes. The same study found no benefit from daily doses of vitamin E, another antioxidant.

This study comes just days after a larger, eight-year clinical trial led by researchers at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital failed to show that vitamins C or E could cut the risk of heart attacks or strokes."
Think again.

They are so confused.
