"I feel like vitamin C may be the world&amp;#x27;s most under-appreciated vitamin--maybe because we assume it&amp;#x27;s in everything from our OJ to the fortified energy bars we love. But wait--did you know that you may not be getting enough? In the recent issue of Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, a team of researchers argue that America is not getting enough vitamin C. In fact, they say they&amp;#x27;ve found compelling evidence that the 75 mg for women and 90 mg for men is way too low, and should be increased to 200 mg for all adults. While more research is needed of course, the experts say that higher levels of vitamin C could help reduce chronic diseases like cancer, stroke, and heart disease. &amp;quot;We believe solid research shows the RDA should be increased,&amp;quot; one of the researchers said in a statement. &amp;quot;And the benefit-to-risk ratio is very high. A 200 milligram intake of vitamin C on a daily basis poses absolutely no risk, but there is strong evidence it would provide multiple, substantial health benefits.&amp;quot; I&amp;#x27;m fascinated by this, and craving citrus--right now. Be sure to load up on your C, gals. Just eat more citrus, red and green peppers, kiwi, and my favorite, brussells sprouts! Do you think you get enough vitamin C in your diet?
