Anti-Oxidant is the PC name for acid.

Didn’t Linus Pauling make a similar claim about Vitamin C trials; i.e., they were never done at 4,000+ mg and so positive effects were never seen?

You have to be careful with the fat-solubles (Vitamin E is one) - they can accumulate in body tissue and produce the effects of a much larger dose than you think you're taking. Vitamin E is an anticoagulant as well as an antioxidant, and 3200 IU's is well over the dosage that can produce these anticoagulant effects - fine if that's what you have in mind, not so good if you don't like to bleed.

That said, I'm a megadose experimenter and have been for a quarter century now. You have to stay on top of it and know what you're doing, but other than the third arm growing from my forehead I haven't had any ill effects. ;-)

Considering how the name of this researcher might be pronounced, you may not have done so badly.

That was supposed to have been kept secret.

I’m at 14g of C per day and other than a lifetime of diarrhea it’s working out fine.
