I've been taking 5g a day of Vitamin C for years. I've never had a kidney stone. My brother does not. He gets kidney stones. QED.
This is anecdotal, not statistical. Maybe you generate kidney stones so often and excrete them while they are so small that you think you do not have them. I dunno. But since I have had kidney stones several times, and the last one was 9 mm long x ~6 mm diameter, and cost several thousands for the lithitripsy, I think I'm going to give the statistics in this article some thought more than your anecdotal conclusion. And I'm posting this to suggest that others do likewise.
I agree. 1,000-mg is quite alot.
Yepper - their argument is like the already debunked bits about salt being a purveyor of high blood pressure and egss killing folks with cholesterol. They do a study or two that leaves out the vast majority of people and make assumptions that include same vast majority.
kidney stones are from magnesium deficiency; calcium can’t dissolve if you don’t get enough mag so it crystalizes.
Agree. C is one nutrient you will die without and a nutrient the human body can't produce, unlike animals. Taking C causes kidney stones is bunk, but it will put lead in your pencil!
C actually improves kidney and other organ functions, including skin and the ability for your body to repair itself.
Thank you! Vitamin C is the best vitamin supplement and the one with the least, if none, adverse reactions. Just the usual misinformation to try to curb vitamin use to keep you sick and on meds. The misinformants have realized the goyam are waking up to the benefits of this super nutrient.
I prefer the 1,000 mg powder stuff with zinc myself. High C!
“Nothing but your standard medical bullshit.”
I hate to tell you but at Thanksgiving I contracted that nasty little upper respiratory virus thats going around. I was taking mega doses of vitamin C everyday for about 5 weeks and voila’ got kidney stones. I immediately stopped taking the C and started taking magnesium everyday until I finally got rid of them. If you take a magnesium pill everyday supposedly you will not get the kidney stones. I have started the Vitamin C again and so far so good.
Nothing but your standard medical bullshit.

3gm. in A.M. and 3 more grams in the P.M. When ill or under attack I’ll up it to bowel tolerance....depending on the degree of sickness that can be as much as 4X the daily. The sicker you are the more you need/tolerate.....read some about this recently but cannot source it at the moment. Likewise NO kidney problems.

I concur, this is BS. Complete, total, smoking BS.
I met someone yesterday who told me that he has a chronic kidney stone problem. His body produces more ________, (can’t remember the name, I think it was somehing like oxycrystals) than the normal person.
