A quick search on pubmed about vitamin C and cancer may show interesting papers to some  Taking supplements ya gotta have some idea behind what it does, which vitamins and in what doses, what form the vitamins come in to have any effect. Blindly taking something off the shelf at a big box store may not help your specific body chemistry nor supplement your diet/lifestyle.
Breaking the topic down to 'vitamins / no vitamins' is approaching the topic with an infantile mindset. It does not further understanding and neither stance is even half way close to what we know so far of diet and health. To re-iterate the specific vitamin, dose and individual in question are important factors which require attention.

And it's far from an exact science. Best to eat good imo. Lots of colors and fresh and OG if possible. Grass fed meat and don't overeat.

Sounds like we're in agreement
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.
