If you were a sailor three hundred years ago, you were at a very high risk of death from a serious deficiency in vitamin C known as scurvy – until it was discovered that a daily dose of lime juice would keep the deadly disease at bay. Today, vitamin C is known to do far more for the body than prevent scurvy. The PLoS ONE journal has recently published results of a study conducted by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine with regards to vitamin C and osteoporosis. Elderly men and women are at the greatest risk of bone fracture due to a decrease in bone strength and researchers at Mount Sinai feel that vitamin C could play an active role in maintaining bone strength and preventing fractures caused by brittle bones.

Prevent Low Bone Density Naturally with Vitamin C

Elderly men and women are at the greatest risk of bone fracture due to a decrease in bone strength and researchers at Mount Sinai feel that vitamin C could play an active role in maintaining bone strength and preventing fractures caused by brittle bones.Preventing Low Bone Density, Stimulating Bone Formation with Vitamin C
A group of female mice with low bone density was compared to a control group of female mice with normal bone density. The group of mice with low bone density was separated into two groups with one group receiving vitamin C supplementation over the eight week study period and the other group no supplementation. Bone mineral density was measured in both groups at the end of the study period in three places, the femur, the tibia bones and the lumbar spine.
The bone mineral density of un-supplemented mice did not change over the eight weeks. Comparatively, the group that was not supplemented experienced a considerable loss in bone density. Lead researcher Dr. Mone Zaidi commented that although medical professionals acknowledge the relationship between vitamin C supplementation and increased bone mass, the study demonstrates that mega doses of vitamin C actually encourage bone formation that protects the skeleton.
Researchers believe that it may be possible to prevent the development of osteoporosis in humans naturally using vitamin C supplementation. Tapping into this nutritional powerhouse is a cost efficient and safe alternative to expensive and sometimes dangerous pharmaceutical drugs.
Other Vitamin C Benefits
In addition to preventing low bone density, recent research has demonstrated that vitamin C prevents vascular dysfunction by maintaining the integrity of the fragile lining of arteries leading to the heart. Although there is still much discussion around the exact daily dosage of vitamin C necessary to protect the heart, the connection is evident. Vitamin C has also been linked to the reduction of wrinkles as noted by a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

WARNING FROM RAEL: For those who don't use their intelligence at its
full capacity, the label "selected by RAEL" on some articles does not
mean that I agree with their content or support it. "Selected by RAEL"
means that I believe it is important for the people of this planet to
know about what people think or do, even when what they think or do is
completely stupid and against our philosophy. When I selected articles
in the past about stupid Christian fundamentalists in America praying
for rain, I am sure no Rael-Science reader was stupid enough to believe
that I was supporting praying to change the weather. So, when I select
articles which are in favor of drugs, anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish, racist,
revisionist, or inciting hatred against any group or religion, or any
other stupid article, it does not mean that I support them. It just
means that it is important for all human beings to know about them.
Common sense, which is usually very good among our readers, is good
enough to understand that. When, like in the recent articles on drug
decriminalization, it is necessary to make it clearer, I add a comment,
which in this case was very clear: I support decriminalizing all drugs,
as it is stupid to throw depressed and sad people (as only depressed and
sad people use drugs) in prison and ruin their life with a criminal
record. That does not mean that there is any change to the Message which
says clearly that we must not use any drug except for medical purposes.
The same applies to the freedom of expression which must be absolute.
That does not mean again of course that I agree with anti-Jews,
anti-Semites, racists of any kind or anti-Raelians. But by knowing your
enemies or the enemies of your values, you are better equipped to fight
them. With love and respect of course, and with the wonderful sentence
of the French philosopher Voltaire in mind: "I disapprove of what you
say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".

"Ethics" is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
new technologies.
There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history,
it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.
On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
death and the sweat of labour.
