“We’ve been taking extra Vitamin C since this all started.”

I read a study linking kidney stones with vitamin C. (25 percent increase in kidney stone formation with recommended vitamin C daily dose.) I cut back as I have had several kidney stones.

The problem with many vitamins and supplements is that we as a species evolved without them. Therefore actual supplementation of our diet may have unexpected and unwanted effects. Mostly, hard data is difficult to come by as there’s no way to recoup the cost of obtaining it. My mom’s advice, which I continue to follow is, everything in moderation.
