So what's better, ascorbic acid or vitamin C complex?

I think it's because most people are still swayed not by the power of reason or that of a good argument, because they're still unable or unwilling to listen, and with a gap of knowledge that results, people prefer the safety of having experts. Scientific studies have the stamp of science, and with that an inherent credibility, and the profit motivation has ended up gaming this system of trust, by polluting it with deception. Corporations are keen to manufacture experts that don't question nor vet these studies, and give these experts an aura of respectability, replete with titles, as long as they don't question the veracity of these studies. People, in search of experts, are led by propaganda (TV, newspapers, Google, and Wikipedia) and by titles (MD) into accepting conventional wisdom, an unwise act, and into a wrong view of human physiology. Having accomplished this wholesale act of brainwashing, corporations reap profits by driving entire populations into disease, and profit from giving solutions that only further the downward spiral of human health. With each downward spiral, health becomes more and more elusive as costs of staying alive become more usurious. In no uncertain terms the individual is subjugated to the corporation and its profit machinery.The conclusion of the symposium was that something must be done. Indeed, all seemed to agree that it was within our power to do that something. But as to precisely what to do or how to do it, there were no firm answers. Those who have the power to act seem to think somebody else should act first. And every positive action (eg, funding well-powered replications) has a counterargument (science will become less creative). The good news is that science is beginning to take some of its worst failings very seriously. The bad news is that nobody is ready to take the first step to clean up the system.
Remember Peter Lynch, the famous mutual fund maanger of Fidelity Magellan fame? He likes pharmaceutical drug companies because they don't sell cures, but sell products that manage conditions, and that means recurring revenue.the web site seems a little woo woo but the article is telling and sources quoted
Goldman Sachs: Curing Cancer is 'NOT a Sustainable Business Model'
Great to read @achillea. We would all do well to keep that story in mind when confronted with medical arrogance to this very day. Little has changed and it seems even vitamin C is still under appreciated.Centuries ago it was not unusual for entire naval expeditions to be wiped out by scurvy. Between 1600 and 1800 the casuaty list of the British Navy alone was was over 1 million sailors.
In the winter of 1535, when the French explorer, Jacques Cartier found his ships frozen in the ice off the St Lawrence River, scurvy began to take its deadly toll. Out of the crew of 110, twenty five already had died, and most of the others were so ill they weren't expected to recover.
And then a friendly Indian showed them the simple remedy, tree bark and needles from the white pine- both rich in ascorbic acid or vitamin C- were stirred into a drink which produced immediate improvement and swift recovery.
Upon returning to Europe, Cartier reported this incident to the medical authorities. But they were amused by such " witch doctor cures of ignorant savages" and did nothing to follow it up.
Yes, the cure for scurvy was known. But because of scientific arrogance, it took over two hundred years and cost hundreds of thousands of lives before the medical experts began to accept and apply this knowledge.
Finally, in 1747, John Lind, a young surgeons mate in the British Navy discovered that oranges and lemons produced relief from scurvy and recommended the Royal navy include citrus fruits in the stores of all its' ships. And yet, it still took 48 more years before his recommendation was put into effect. When it was, of course, the British were able to surpass all other sea faring nations, and the Limeys, so called because they carried limes aboard ship, soon became the rulers of the Seven Seas.
It is no exaggeration to say that the greatness of te British Empire in large measure was the direct result of overcoming scientific prejudice against vitamin therapy.
