Back in business - let's get right to it:
Är det någon som kan undgå att se likheterna mellan den senaste tidens rubriker i media om att: "Vitamin C ger cancer!" och den tidigare "Kreatin ger cancer!"?
Dagens samhälle och mediaklimat kanske är för avancerat för att tillåta längre stunders efterforskningar. Nyhetsbyråerna pumpar ut texter, ofta översatta/tolkade av reporters som inte alltid är hundraprocentigt insatta i ämnet - därtill krävs specialister, vilket i princip blir en omöjlighet då man inser hur många områden nyheterna ska täcka. Därav dessa rubriker i vanliga media.
En av den ursprungliga studiens (forskning vid Pennsylvanias Universitet i USA) författare, Ian Blair, kände på sig att denna koppling skulle ske och sa vid en intervju med nyhetsbyrån Reuters:
- Säg för guds skull inte att Vitamin C ger cancer!
Du hade Ian inte tagit i beaktande Murphys Lag: "Om det finns två eller flera sätt att göra något på, och ett av dem kan ställa till katastrof, så kommer någon att göra på det sättet."
Här följer några av de många rapporterna om studien på Vitamin C:
Den ursprungliga rapporten:
EurekAlert: Vitamin C produces gene-damaging compounds, test-tube study in Science reports: 14 juni
Vitamin C, known to be a DNA-protecting "antioxidant," is a switch hitter, also capable of inducing the production of DNA-damaging compounds, suggests a study in the 15 June issue of the international journal, Science. Mutations caused by these compounds have been found in a variety of tumors.

Just Move: Vitamin C can damage DNA, study shows: 14 juni
Although vitamin C is an essential defender of body cells, the vitamin can also play a "dual role" and, at times, actually damages cells' genetic material, new research suggests. Investigators say their findings could help explain why high-dose vitamin C has so far failed as an experimental cancer therapy.
MSNBC: Lab study finds possible villainy in vitamin C: 14 juni
Vitamin C pills, popped by millions as a protection against colds and other diseases, actually may play a role in damaging DNA, a step toward forming cancer cells, a laboratory study suggests. The finding does not mean that the supplement causes cancer, but has reopened the debate about its benefits and risks.
Yahoo! News: Vitamin C Found to Promote Cancer-Causing Agents: 14 juni
Vitamin C, an essential nutrient found in fruits and vegetables and taken in large doses by many people as a dietary supplement, is a double-edged sword, providing benefits but also inducing the production of compounds associated with cancer, researchers said on Thursday.
Yahoo! News: Lab Study Finds Vitamin C Dangers: 14 juni
The vitamin C pills taken by millions of health-conscious Americans may actually help produce toxins that can damage their DNA, a step toward forming cancer cells, a laboratory study suggests.
NetDoctor: Concerns over vitamin C: 15 juni
A new study has shown that large doses of vitamin C can raise the risk of cancer by producing chemicals in the body that are harmful to genetic material.
BBC News: Vitamin C 'may harm as well as heal': 14 juni
Vitamin C may be capable of actually causing damage to cells that could potentially lead to cancer as well as protecting them, laboratory tests suggest.
Här några av de få artiklarna som motsäger den massiva rapporteringen i vanliga media, nedanstående skriven av Michael Mooney:
Medibolics: Vitamin C Safety And Yellow Journalism: 16 juni
In a study making the media rounds, research from the University of Pennsylvania is being hyped as finding a link between DNA damage and vitamin C.
However, the research was not conducted on people, but rather in test tubes that simulated reactions that do not occur in the human body.
femail.co.uk: Why vitamin C is good for you: 20 juni
Last week saw the publication of scientific research which cast serious doubt on the wisdom of taking supplements of vitamin C. Not surprisingly, this study, published in the journal Science, sent shock waves through a significant proportion of the population who take vitamin C for its health-giving properties.
However, before we rush to throw our vitamin C supplements in the bin, we should perhaps look more closely at this most recent research to see what, if any, conclusions can be drawn from it.
Food Ingredients Online: Vitamin C study premature and inconclusive: 18 juni
A report published yesterday in the journal Science suggests vitamin C may have carcinogenic properties -- a claim that has been presented in media reports as fact.
This is a dangerous and questionable leap based on a single survey compared with substantial amounts of scientific literature that indicates otherwise.
Allsports: The scaremongers are at it again - ‘the great vitamin C debate’:
As long as I can remember there has been an element of the ‘scientific establishment’ who have been determined to destroy any suggestions of a link between natural supplementation and improved health.
They only accept the case for expensive drugs developed by wealthy pharmaceutical companies which can be palmed off on to the public at extortionate prices.
Nåja, nu lämnar vi Vitamin C för denna gång och går över på roliga(re) ämnen:

T-Mag.com: The Truth about Ecdysteroids (Bug Drug):

BBC News: Nandrolone linked to diet supplements: 22 juni
A German scientist has found evidence of a link between the anabolic steroid nandrolone and common dietary supplements.
