About this album
Allende means "beyond" in Spanish and indeed this track is beyond boundaries and definitions restricting the freedom of musical expression. This track is a result of collaboration between SaReGaMa and Nikila with a special guest - Matan Morag featuring his wonderful improvisation on Classic guitar. These musicians come from entirely different backgrounds but share the same love and passion for good music. This track is a perfect blend of organic and electronic sounds, different styles and influences bended together in a unique way. Sometimes nostalgic and relaxing, sometimes uplifting and dexterous this track carries influences from Argentina, Spain, India and beyond.
The audio quality of music offered on Jamendo in best case reaches 190 kbps, which is quite reasonable for evaluational purposes but definitely not enough to experience the richness of the original sound (1411 kbps). If you'd like to feel how this music sounds for real you can obtain a lossless FLAC version of this album on our website.

Is Your Vitamin C the Real Deal or a GMO Wannabe?Healthy Living, Healthy Pregnancy, Baby & Child, Natural Remedies
There is little dispute in either conventional or alternative health circles about the critical importance of vitamin C to optimal wellness.
When most people consider the consequences of vitamin C deficiency, however, the usual image that comes to mind is of a scurvy ridden, orally challenged, 16th century sailor who has run out of limes!
While a severe deficiency of vitamin C is rare anymore, subclinical deficiency is most definitely not.
A powerful anti-oxidant, vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient that is needed for numerous biological functions including:
- Tissue growth and repair
- Strength of capillary walls
- Lactation
- Adrenal health
- Formation of collagen
- Healing of wounds
Vitamin C is probably best known for its ability to shorten the duration and severity of the common cold as popularized by Dr. Linus Pauling in his 1970 book, Vitamin C and the Common Cold.
Found in many fruits and vegetables and in some animal organs, vitamin C is a delicate nutrient that is destroyed by heat. Consequently, in the modern diet where the majority of most people's meals consist of highly processed fare, little vitamin C remains for absorption.
The problem of little natural vitamin C in the heavily processed, modern diet is compounded by the fact that the millions of individuals with blood sugar issues such as hypoglycemia require more vitamin C as this condition interferes with its metabolism by the body.
In addition, alcohol consumption and many common drugs such as aspirin and the birth control pill may reduce vitamin C levels in the body.
With vitamin C so critical and yet so elusive in the modern diet with higher than normal levels required by many due to metabolic issues or drug interactions, it is no wonder that vitamin C supplements are absolutely everywhere – commonly sold even at gas stations!
While vitamin C supplementation is a good idea for most people (I take one myself as do my children and husband), supplementation with just any vitamin C is not.
The Truth about Ascorbic Acid
The problem is that most vitamin C is not really vitamin C at all. It is ascorbic acid, a lab synthesized version not found anywhere in nature, which is only one part (the outer layer) of the complete vitamin C complex.
Consumption of isolated ascorbic acid is not a good idea on a regular basis. Some evidence suggests that large doses may lead to imbalances and deficiencies in the flavonoids (vitamin P), a powerful family of over 6,000 antioxidants that have a symbiotic working relationship with vitamin C – each increasing the other's effect.
Even more worrisome is that ascorbic acid, while proven to kill bacteria effectively, is not discriminatory in its anti-microbial abilities as it also wipes out good bacteria or probiotics in the gut. Whole foods based vitamin C does not harm beneficial intestinal bacteria in the same way as synthetic vitamin C does.
Another wake up call about ascorbic acid – it is synthesized from corn syrup. If you take a supplement with ascorbic acid, you guessed it, you are likely consuming a supplement with GMO origins (unless the corn was certified organic) without even knowing it!
To show you just how common GMO derived, probiotic destroying ascorbic acid masquerading as true vitamin C is, I took photographs of the labels of three extremely popular vitamin C supplements at the healthfood store. The pictures to the right show that there is no real vitamin C to be found in any of them, even the children's yummi bears!
True Vitamin C with No Additives
Given that natural vitamin C is destroyed by heat and that the vast majority of "vitamin C" supplements and foods fortified with "vitamin C" don't contain any true vitamin C at all, what is a person who needs to supplement with this critical nutrient to do?
Finding a quality vitamin C supplement is indeed hard! In fact, I didn't take one for years simply because I couldn't find one that was 100% whole foods based with no additives whatsoever. Every single time I tried one that was "almost" good enough, I would end up stopping it as it would inevitably give me bad headaches.
It is only in the past few months that I have finally started to take a vitamin C supplement regularly because at last I found a line that is low heat processed, whole foods based, and entirely additive free. The funny thing is, the products were right under my nose all along and I didn't even realize it!
My friends Norm and Kathy LeMoine of Radiant Life offer a quality line of whole food vitamin C supplements to choose from. The one I've been taking and very much enjoying is Pure Radiance C. You simply stir a 1/4-1/2 teaspoon in a some filtered water and drink. It tastes great!
You can also hold the vitamin C mixture in your mouth for a minute or so before swallowing to allow vitamin C to absorb directly into the thin and delicate gum tissue. Great for those with periodontal problems.
Capsules are also available if desired for added convenience.
Radiant Life offers three other whole foods vitamin C products with no additives to choose from as well. The difference between the products is the whole food sources of the vitamin C. Choose whichever mix of vitamin C sources suits your nutritional goals best. The chart below illustrates the various product options.
If this article has caused you to throw up your hands in dismay because the vitamin C you had chosen for your family turned out to be synthetic and probably of GMO origins, don't despair!
Move forward with the newfound knowledge that vitamin C from a whole foods supplement with zero additives is in fact available and that there is a company you can trust which offers four superior forms of this important nutrient for you to choose from.

No corporate mindset here! My USDA plant made healthy beef and turkey jerky with no additives and only wholesome ingredients. I am an avid equestrian, was raised on raw milk, ( still drink everyday ), homemade bread, ( before the era of bread machines ), homegrown garden, and was lucky enough to have a mom who didn't need to work outside of the home. My yard has been filled with laying hens for over 13 years. The hens layboxes are filled with special straw we use for horses. I also feed the hens a variety of hay as part of their diet, boy do the love that- they have a certain type of hen chuckle when they see me pulling alfalfa out for them. Talk about good tasting eggs that are still warm from just being layed! My web address is an Ode to my hens. I have only read a few of your posts, but anyone that helps to promote a healthy life is a good thing! Good luck to you, Sara. From Lori in San Diego
Can you please tell me if this Vit C product is sold in stores, like in all states in the USA ? Some states have hot weather for most of the year. I would not want to mail order delicate vitamins thought would be ruined in the heat.
Thank you.
Hi Sarah, I love this article. I'm working with a client right now who likes her Emergen-C for the other good stuff in it (potassium, calcium, magnesium, B12). Do you know of a healthier (organic, non-GMO) vitamin C replacement that has those extra vitamins & phytonutrients?
Yes … linked to in the article Jennifer
grace pallister
Glad to know the real vitamin c exist.
Im in the UK and the shipping on these are too high. I am on a very low income, below the breadline and the shipping is just too high on top of the pills. Do you know of some similar in the UK? I have searched but not getting anywhere. Thanks
Ps did you know, this is a white background with very very light grey font? I can hardly see what Im writing. Maybe you could change this to a black font?
Vitamin C by definition, is ascorbic acid. Its chemical composition is completely described in chemistry manuals. That is pure vitamin C. If you also put in rose hips, even if rose hips is present, naturally, from where you extract vitamin C, it is still vitamin C with rose hips, not pure vitamin C.And if all you want to buy is vitamin C, from the list you have provided, none of them is vitamin C. Put another way if I want to buy vitamin C, from the list you provided, you would not know which product I should buy because, it is always vitamin C with something else; not what I want. And, if I want to buy rose hips, for example, I would go and buy rose hips. Except I guess you would know be abvle to find someone who is looking out to buy rose hips.
I read a book by Matthias Rath, a follower of your cited Linus Pauling when I had a five-bypass CABG 20 years ago, and just by following the vitamin C recommendations I have had no need for any "intervention" (cardiologists lingo). I have no objections against vitamin C mixed with anything, but I think the industry is gradually making it difficult for me to buy pure ascorbic acid. And that is a crying shame.
So if this Radiant Life Vit C contains buckwheat berry sprouts, is it then not grain free?
Sarah TheHealthyHomeEconomist
buckwheat is not a grain.
Hi…what vitamin c tablets do you give your children? So hard to find one that doesn't have ascorbic acid.
Sarah TheHealthyHomeEconomist
I use the vitamin C powder linked to in the post.
I found Suzanne Humphries' lecture about vitamine C very helpful: youtube.com/watch?v=y0LLX0sgwAU
She says it is not necessary to take natural sources (in case of bad illness) simply because the dosis are too low.
Jeez, just the mention of corn and ascorbic acid should deem Vitamin C from that source non-viable. Any supplement I try out, and find it has fillers, they're fired, the other thing I look for is organic and tested for heavy metals, you don't find that certification hardly anywhere, metal is apparently in everything! Air, food, water. Mercury free?, is their such a thing? Start looking at your supplement powders, or nuts & seeds, foods under a stereoscope or microscope, might be surprised what you find.
Don't know about GMO free corn, or anything anymore, for some blood types like O, just best to not eat corn or wheat period. If I did not have such cravings for bread, corn, and anything sweet I wouldn't know any better. This article is a perfect example, where I see no agreement I can dig further, see that buying Vitamin C ascorbic acid tablets are so cheap, makes me wonder if the efficacy is anything at all, cheap means cheaply made from something that else that is cheaply made, usually for some reason like an easier process, which means automation..
My Vitamin C of choice right now is ascerola freeze dried, certified organic and tested for heavy metals.
How many mg do you take? I recently started looking for more natural ways to cure illness and really looked into vitamin c. I've been taking buffered c complex from vitacost, I assume the ascorbic acid they use is probably synthetic but I took 8000-10000 mg thoughout the day when I had a fever and chills and the next day I felt great! So I don't know if it was because it had more of the complex than regular synthetic ascorbic acid or not.
gayle anderson
Thanks C, for the heads-up about ascerola. I had never heard of this product before. I wonder if the powder is as good as freeze-dried?
Seems u fudged ur research http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascorbic_acid ascorbic acid is naturally soruced unless its d ascorbic acid which is synthetic and doesnt occur in nature

I am so mad. I keep trying to get away from the GMO's and they keep popping up.
I take the Liv-On Vitamin C which is the liposomal version and it is really expensive. I will stop using it because I decided to take my Vitamin C needs directly from the Camu Camu Berry powder instead of supplementing with it.
This information gave me additional knowledge as to what asorbic acid really is and how to make the best choice for a Vitamin C supplement.
Thanks for sharing
I too was taken Camu Camu for Vitamin C because its said to have the highest amount. I started thinking after the Berry is processed into powder form how much vitamin c is really left? Think about it, vitamin c is very sensitive and oxidizes quickly once a fruit is cut open. I wonder if im wasting money and just consuming a powder with no vitamin c left in it. I cant find any facts to answer this question. Let me know what you think.

Also, "NOW" Vitamin C, that says right on the bottle, "Made in the U.S.A." is not. It is IMPORTED FROM CHINA!! This must be against some regulation to false advertise like this.

What is it is listed as "from citrus c blend", as it is in the Garden of Life Vitamin Code for kids?
Phil Le Breton
While your intentions may be good, this article does a real disservice to Vitamin C, and the people currently supplementing with it.
1. "The problem is that most vitamin C is not really vitamin C at all. It is ascorbic acid, a lab synthesized version not found anywhere in nature, which is only one part (the outer layer) of the complete vitamin C complex."
False. Linus Pauling argued that Vit C and ascorbic acid are exactly identical. Pauling is the ONLY human being on the planet to win two Nobel Prizes in separate fields. You are making a bold statement. Please provide a link to the study you based this opinion on. Directly from the Linus Pauling Institute website:
Natural vs. synthetic vitamin C
Natural and synthetic L-ascorbic acid are chemically identical and there are no known differences in their biological activities or bioavailabilities.
(101). 101. Gregory JF, 3rd. Ascorbic acid bioavailability in foods and supplements. Nutr Rev. 1993;51(10):301-303.
2. "Another wake up call about ascorbic acid – it is synthesized from corn syrup. If you take a vitamin C supplement with ascorbic acid, you guessed it, you are likely consuming a supplement with GMO origins (unless the corn was certified organic) without even knowing it!"
False. Yes, 90% of the world supply of manufactured ascorbic acid is derived from corn syrup. However, as of right now, the majority (if not all) is from non-GMO corn. I have certificates of analysis that show this on the ascorbic we use. Unless companies are falsifying their documents, this claim is completely false. And if you think the big 4 are indeed falsifying certificates of analysis, then you are basing your opinion on conspiracy theories and you should indicate such.
In fact, it's an irrelevant point anyway, even if the corn is GMO. While ascorbic acid starts as corn sugar, the end product resembles corn in no way, shape or form. It's a reduction process whereby the finished product contains none of the proteins or anything that makes corn, well, corn. It's the same reason ascorbic can be produced from beets, potatoes, etc. There is a reason why people that have corn allergies can take ascorbic without any adverse reactions (in our experience).
Disclaimer: We have been in the Vitamin C business for 43 years now. My Uncle worked with the likes of Pauling, Irwin Stone, Robert Cathcart, etc. Articles like this that tend to further obfuscate years of proven research by some of the greatest minds in the field and that is unfortunate.
Phil Le Breton
Addendum to my last post, please update point 1:
Natural vs. synthetic ascorbic acid
Natural and synthetic L-ascorbic acid are chemically identical, and there are no known differences in their biological activity. The possibility that the bioavailability of L-ascorbic acid from natural sources might differ from that of synthetic ascorbic acid was investigated in at least two human studies, and no clinically significant differences were observed. A study of 12 males (six smokers and six nonsmokers) found the bioavailability of synthetic ascorbic acid (powder administered in water) to be slightly superior to that of orange juice, based on blood levels of ascorbic acid, and not different based on ascorbic acid in leukocytes (white blood cells) (1). A study in 68 male nonsmokers found that ascorbic acid consumed in cooked broccoli, orange juice, orange slices, and as synthetic ascorbic acid tablets are equally bioavailable, as measured by plasma ascorbic acid levels (2, 3).
I am not familiar with any facility that produces ascorbic acid that has not used gmo corn. so, there is a residue. A lot of us are trying to evade gmo foods. Can you tell me the by-products that we are getting from the synthesis? This is what we do not want in our bodies, the unnatural by-products that we cannot absorb so if we do not get rid, collects in our squamous cells.
I am not familiar with any facility that produces ascorbic acid that HAS used GMO corn. Can you provide the name of even one?
As a retailer of vitamin C, every batch of ascobic we have EVER received has been certified non-GMO. Please provide evidence of the alternative. I await your response.
Sarah TheHealthyHomeEconomist
There is no certification for non-GMO corn unless it is organic or from the NonGMO project. No ascorbic acid I've ever seen (so far) has either of these certifications.
Corn is used to FATTEN LIVESTOCK so I say NO thanks to your recommendation of CORN based ascorbic acid supplements. GMOs are airborne and any honest farmer will tell you ALL corn has GMO contamination its just a matter of how much. I bet you think soy is healthy too.
Oh well, if someone received a Nobel Prize they must be infallible… and beyond reproach.
Nearly all corn is genetically modified, even "organic" corn has been cross-contamintated. There are 2 strains of GM corn, one has a patent to sterilize humans, created by Epycite, bought by Monsanto. The other causes organ failure, destroys stomach lining and causes cancer.
There are no labeling laws, so you don't know which strain you are getting.
Now how is that healthful?
I don't guess the infallible Linus can help you on that one now can he? But I guess it's so easy for you to dismiss a crazy conspiracy theory… despite all the testing, studies and evidence to the contrary.
Phil Le Breton
I never disputed the existence of GMOs, try reading my post in detail rather than just skimming it. What I put to rest is this continual fountain of misinformation (i.e this article) that continues to spew out that manufactured ascorbic acid is a GMO product. Ascorbic acid is a defined chemical molecule. It's C6H8O6. Nothing more, nothing less. One cannot genetically modify carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Thus, ascorbic acid (aka vitamin C) is a GMO free product. Period.
It doesn't take the "infallible" chemist Linus Pauling to understand a simple concept like this. If you had taken the time to actually read what I wrote, and then put some thought into it, rather than getting defensive and condescending about your irrelevant GMO position, then maybe you would have understood. Unfortunately, this is how garbage proliferates all over the web. When people get so dug in in with their beliefs they no longer listen to simple logic.
Thanks so much Phil for your insight into Vit C. Sarah, are there any links or can you point to any scientific research/studies to support the statements about the incompleteness of synthetic vitamin c and Vitamin C as a natural C complex and also about most or all Vit C as GMO? It sounds like it would make sense but as in all supplements it would be helpful to see the research results. Thank you!
Phil Le Breton
My pleasure. I have never seen any reputable research suggesting that vitamin C from natural sources assimilates better than ascorbic acid. Alternatively, I have seen studies that provide ample evidence that vitamin C from natural sources and ascorbic acid are chemically identical with no difference in biological activity (see L. Pauling). Furthermore, I have a non-GMO certification in my hand from a major vitamin C manufacturer. In fact, manufactured ascorbic acid does not even contain the required levels of DNA to even test for GMO's. It's just carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Testing ascorbic acid for GMO's is akin to testing a rock in your back yard. No DNA = No GMO's.
Lori S.
This was the first time I have read anything written by this 'healthy home lady'. I hope everyone correctly read all of your input into Vitamin C, such an important Vitamin. I find it quite sad that the brand she recommends contains only 120 mg. per serving. Far too low a dose to help any illness. Her disclaimer should read 'for entertainment purposes only'. Could you provide a link to the powdered Vit C you sell? I have owned several food companies, including a USDA manufacturing plant, so I am quite familiar with labeling laws, ingredients, etc. Thank you Phil- great input
One of the points of the article is that you don't need to take megadoses of Vitamin C (that have side effects and cause damage) when you get the whole food version and bypass synthetic ascorbic acid! Seems you are stuck in corporate-think when it comes to food and nutrition.

Hi Sarah, I looked through the Radiance Life website on the powdered kind you talked about… I didn't see a dosage for children. My daughter is 3 years old-how much would you recommend a child her age to have on a daily basis. if you don't know that, maybe you could share how much you give your kids?
She also takes FCLO-I don't know if that affects the amount of Vit C you would give or not…
Thanks for the article-I am for sure going to buy some of this for my family!!!

I have been taking a daily whole food vitamin from NewMark called Women's Synbiotic One but my nutritionist is having difficulty getting it now. He suggested I start taking a new daily liquid called IntraMax which bills itself as "100% carbon-bond organic". He seems to think it is a step up from what I was taking.
I am ALWAYS a skeptic and cynic about supplements but I have been helped over the past 3 years and I try to trust this man. I've been online trying to figure out if it is the real deal. (I had only dropped in his office to pick up my other vitamin and so did not have the luxury of talking to him about this very long.) The Vitamin C listed is as "calcium ascorbate buffered complex" and it supposedly has no synthetic stuff in it, as far as I can tell from my research.
Does anyone know about IntraMax and if so, can you share your thoughts on it with me?
Many thanks.

Hi Sarah – I am currently dealing with & treating my candidiasis and am wondering if using the products you mentioned would hinder healing, as they are from fruit sources and may contain sugar?
Hey Sarah,
I don't get what your saying here. So vitamin c is bad but vitamin c in fruit is good? I get my c from a no gmo company and have been taking it for years and I am way healthier than any of my friends who don't. Its ascorbic acid. Am I at some risk here? Actually I know Im not really because ive been on high doses -like 6 or 8 grams a day for 6 years and am fine!
Ummm, vit C IS ascorbic acid… and it's what is made in the kidneys and livers of animals other than humans, higher primates, Guinea pigs, a fruit bat and a few parrots if memory serves. Made in bodies seems pretty "natural," no?
How can one molecular chain be "purer" than another? The name for the vit-C molecule is ascorbic acid, though some in the field are calling it ( the L-ascorbic acid form and the C bound to sodium) "ascorbate" just to add to the confusion.
Add to that the fact that this ascorbic acid you find threatening is what saved people from scurvy in hospitals and is what was studied when vit-C was "discovered."
This "natural compound" C sure sounds good, but it's a fad and is, respectfully, meaningless. It does sell product, well, though!
The fact that almost all C (and most other supplements) is now made in China and is derived from GMO crops is very true, but this nonsense about "naturally" derived C "compounds" is …well, nonsense.
Check out the Vitamin C Foundation website, or some reputable doc's (like Levy) and see what their take on this issue is… hint, they think it's silly.
No, actually it was LIMES that saved people from scurvy NOT your beloved synthetic ascorbic acid supplements…it was whole food based vitamin C, just like the author mentioned.
I would also like to know your thoughts on Nutribiotics brand of Sodium Ascorbate? Here is the link http://www.nutribiotic.com/sodium-ascorbate.html. This is the Vit c that Suzanne Humphries suggests using to treat whooping cough. Thanks!
Is it possible to get enough Vitamin C through diet, or are supplements necessary?
Hello Sarah,
Thanks for your interesting articles. I have a product by Genestra Brands that is recommended by my Naturopath. A very good brand in other things that I've been recommended as well. A little pricey at times but they work! Although I do educate myself on health overall, I find that I need to trust her when she recommends something and through experience, found it to be true.
Thanks for all your 'shares'.
Cindy A. Krueger
Sarah, Radiant Life carries a very nice line of vitamins. The story behind the founder of the company is heart warming and inspirational. He is very dedicated to using only whole organic sources for his products. I have been using them for my clients for a few years and they are very satisfied.
Keep up your great works!
Greg Moore
Hi Sara, Great article. I'm glad you mentioned low heat because heat as well as a myriad of other things such as oxygen and light destroy vitamin C. Any temperature above 70 degrees Fahrenheit and it starts to break down. One thing that might be helpful to look into further is whether or not your vitamin C product is freeze dried. Most whole food vitamin C products such as Camu Camu or Acerola are spray dried which almost completely destroys all the vitamin C content.
The best product that I have found comes from LiveSuperfoods .com where you can get 8 oz of freeze dried Camu Camu powder for only $18 and even less if ordered in bulk. We really like this product because it still tastes like fruit instead of slightly sweet powder. Just thought I would pass this info along.
Can you provide a reference for the info about spray drying vs freeze drying? Do we know if the supplements are tested for their vitamin C content after they are "spray dried."
Christina Mendoza
Thank you for another informative article, Sarah! I had no idea prior to reading this that ascorbic acid kills off beneficial gut bacteria. I learn so much from your articles!
rebecca huff
If I am not mistaken– Radiant Life offered Catie's Organic whole foods Vit C powder recently– but I couldn't find it on their website just now— wonder how that one measures up?
Hey Sarah! I am new to eating a traditional diet, and everywhere I turn, someone is recommending a supplement. We already take cod liver oil, butter oil and probiotics. What are the other essential supplements to take? I get overwhelmed!
I've used the "Royal Camu" product shown above, which I found at a local supplement shop, and liked it very much. It's from a fruit from the Amazonian rain forest, chock full of vit C, bioflavinoids and phytonutrients unique to the camu camu fruit. I remember the clerk at the shop telling me that most all vitamin C found in commercial supplements is sourced from China, which could be another red flag for people.
Thank you for this! So discouraged as I just bought a big bottle and realized they were giving me stomachaches. Now I know why!
Thanks so much for this info, Sarah as we're currently looking for a vitamin C to take. Do you know anything about Ester-C (http://www.ester-c.com/Products/Ester-C-Tablets.htm) and how it compares based on your understanding of the issues you discussed?
Dorsey Clark
What do you think of making your own Vit C powder to add to beverages or could even be put into capsules. I scrape out the pulp residue of the organic citrus fruit that we use and slice the peel with the pith into thin strips. Then I dry in my dehydrator and run through my inexpensive coffee grinder.
We have been taking this internally but I also keep a small container in my bathroom and add a little to my facial cleanser at night. It is a gentle exfoliate as well as adding the C benefits and the natural C oil that is in the skin.
What sayest thou?
Candace Coffin
I've been a WAPF member for years and have been taking Nature's Plus, Ultra-C for many years. It is ascorbic acid (organic) (2000mg) & rose hips(Rosa canina fruit (200mg) – yikes…is ascorbic acid not good even if organic?????
If it is indeed organic it should not be GMO but I see nowhere on the label where it says organic.
I have a question (tried to post it before but an error appears, don't know why?).
We use NOW Acerola powder and it says that it is a "Natural Source of Vitamin C plus added Ascorbic Acid". We have been using it in my baby's raw milk formula, advised by Weston Price Foundation and other articles of yours.
Since the bottle says what I wrote, I am a bit confused with this present article you wrote. Is this Acerola – with ascorbic acid in it – a no-no or a right one? If this is a no-no then why do you suggest it in a baby's homemade formula?
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
I am recommending any of the 4 products in chart above as they are all 100% C with no additives. I have not checked the NOW brand label recently so cannot say what they are using today. It used to be all acerola with no ascorbic acid.
I love reading your articles Sarah. They always make me think and analyze everything. I know that you keep in mind that thousands of people read you and rely on what they read here to make changes for the better in their lives and in their families lives. I have too, over the years, come here and learnt a ton. I still do.
You already showed that you are a very, very shrewd person. I am writing all of this because I think you should bare in mind that at the same time you suggest a product or a supplement you should see if it changes as time goes by (or not) in order to keep helping people instead of going through the possibility of creating unnecessary (health) problems without (you) even realizing it.
I hope you understand what I wrote.
Please see your posts about the homemade raw milk/liver formula and check the acerola powder you suggest to put in it – there are babies with allergies to GMOs (my own baby has severe eczema and I am questioning, now, if it could be due to corn from ascorbic acid that I innocently put in her formula every day!). If you see the photo from the link you posted (http://www.radiantlifecatalog.com/category/119) you will realize that Radiant Life has there Acerola with ascorbic acid in it too.
I hope you put yourself in my shoes for an instant to understand what I wrote. If my baby has eczema (for months now, you wouldn't dream what we have been going through) due to ascorbic acid then I thank you for your article!, but I also ask you to please, please check your other articles where you suggest acerola powder in other homemade milk/liver formulas because there may be other people battling the same problem that we are battling here.
Please, don't take my comment as a criticism because it isn't. It is rather a request.
I am really grateful for your article, it made me think and research more… maybe this is the missing link for me to cure my baby. If it is, then I will have no words to thank you.
I understand where you are coming from, and that all issues including your precious baby would be close to your heart and of great concern to you. That's good mothering! however, i would encourage you to look at Sarah's disclaimer again:

Sarah, I wanted to thank you for all the time you put into doing this. I was just trying to figure out Vit. C, and here it is! Long story, short, my husband was diagnosed with Epstein Barr six years ago, and I've had a whole host of issues myself ranging from anemia to PCOS with a hysterectomy in 2010. We still deal with problems so we eliminated most of the processed foods from our diet four years ago, but just recently found your site, and are starting my husband on the GAPS diet. My head is spinning from info overload, but very grateful to you for explaining why we continue to have some issues!
Dorothy Ryan-Purcell
We gave up consuming anything processed, including stock cubes and flavour enhancers. I now cook everything from scratch and use a lot of fresh herbs from the garden to season food. We were always getting bits of colds all year round but since totally eliminating MSG out of our diet (5 months ago), none of us have had even a hint of a cold since. I am convinced that nutrition and the food we eat is key, better than any supplements. Dorothy
What are your thoughts on Nutribiotics brand of Sodium Ascorbate? Here is the link http://www.nutribiotic.com/sodium-ascorbate.html. Is the sodium factor make it a better option? Thank you!
Sarah, what are your thoughts on fat soluble asorbyl palmitate?
I have a question.
We use NOW Acerola powder and it says that it is a "Natural Source of Vitamin C plus added Ascorbic Acid". We have been using it in my baby's raw milk formula, advised by Weston Price Foundation and other articles of yours.
Since the bottle says what I wrote, I am a bit confused with this present article you wrote. Is this Acerola – with ascorbic acid in it – a no-no or a right one?
Just found out that NOW Vit C is from China (although it says "made in the U.S.A." right on the bottle.) It is also derived from corn! 90% of all Vit C is from China!! What to do…
Andrew Vajda
Hi Joel, I had the same problem finding some. I finally found the last Western producer and started distributing for them this week. It's ascorbic acid manufactured in the UK from certified non-GMO corn, also grown in the UK.
I've been using and researching ascorbic acid for 8 years and totally disagree with the slander it has suffered in the media. I've addressed the author of the original article at natural news and am awaiting a response.
I am providing this product with the lowest markup on the market. I charge 25$ for a pound whereas Chinese ascorbic acid is wholesaled at 1-3$ a kilo (2.2 lbs) and retailed anywhere from 6-40$ a pound. (454 grams).
Kara Smith
We ordered the Vitamin C from radiant life this past winter and I supplemented it with the FCLO, butter oil and a liver pill for the kiddos. It was our healthiest winter! We had only a cold show up once and I upped their Vitamin C and they kicked it in 2 days! Completely! During the summer I stopped supplementing the Vitamin C except for right now I came down with a mild cold so I added it back to the kids supplements to hopefully help them ward it off and so far so good. Should I continue their supplement year round? Or just during the fall/winter when viruses are more prevalent?
So i suppose i'll be throwing away the gummy vites for the kids… is there a trustworthy article about how important vit c is for kids? i will research radiant life dosing. thanks!
Antonia, study this book and all it's sources in the bibliography at the back. google ross horne 5th edition and ross horne Improving Pritikin. my two health bibles. Cheers
Why can't I just fresh squeeze some lemon in water and get VitC that way? Do we really need a supplement for that?
Hi Sarah, There is much debate going on in my family about vitamin C. My GP who is a holistic practitioner uses IV Vitamin C especially in elderly and people who have cancers etc…I do note that Dr Mercola talks about Liposomal Vitamin C, if your diet is not adequate enough to supplement with this..What are your thoughts?
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
For serious illness, the IV Vitamin C is probably useful … certainly better than chemo or radiation and other extremely toxic therapies. I think it is abused however .. I know people who regularly get IV Vitamin C simply for cosmetic reasons.

I'm excited to announce another giveaway to help support the California Right to Know (YES on Prop 37) campaign to label GMOs in California.
When I was at Expo East last month, one of my very favorite finds was a probiotic chocolate made with stevia.
You heard that right.
Chocolate. Probiotic. Stevia.
Does it get any better than this?
Yes, it does, because this doesn't taste like stevia. This tastes like the chocolate you know and love made with sugar. And it's DELICIOUS! Only it's not made with sugar. It's made with stevia.
Yes on Prop 37 Giveaway: Active D'Lites Probiotic Chocolate — $250 Value
Right now, organic is under attack in this country. Our only hope for getting genetically modified (GMO) foods labeled is happening RIGHT NOW in California. Next month, California voters are getting the chance to vote to label GMOs. The initiative is called Proposition 37.
Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the opposition (Monsanto, Dupont, et al) have raised over $20 million to try to sway Californians to vote no on Prop 37.
We need to raise money to tell the truth about the dangers of GMOs — on TV commercials, billboards, etc. — and get Californians out on November 6th to VOTE YES on PROP 37.
Click here to learn more about California Right to Know (Yes on Prop 37).
Giveaway: Active D'Lites Probiotic Chocolate – $250 Value – 5 Winners
To help raise funds for Yes on Prop 37, Active D'Lites has generously donated 5 prizes, total retail value $250.
Each of the 5 winners will receive a 30-day supply of chocolate bars valued at $50 each.
The Active D'Lites Chocolate bars were specifically formulated to go beyond the benefits of a sugar free and low carb treat. When making these bars the goal was to be able to reach every person during every stage of their lives. As most healthy conscious people like you do, we believe that Probiotics are one of the key ingredients for a health immune and digestive system.

How to Enter to Win
All you have to do is use the Rafflecopter widget below and (1) Sign up for my weekly newsletter (or send in a postcard — see official rules for details) and (2) Make a voluntary donation to Yes on Prop 37 (or comment below about why you support Prop 37).
You don't have to donate to win — this is voluntary — but hopefully you'll find a way to donate something!
Let's face it — GMOs are the BIGGEST threat to our planet. If California can get GMOs labeled, do you really think they will only change the labels for California? Nope, they'll create new labels that will go in stores nationwide.
This will impact the entire country and ultimately the world. I can't stress enough how important this is to the environment. If this proposition does not pass, we have only ourselves to blame.
Even if it means raiding that jar of change on the bookshelf or working an extra hour or two to get a bit of overtime, or maybe you could raise a few bucks with a lemonade stand or sell some books to a used bookstore. Please be creative and find a way to donate. This is SO important. Even if you can only donate $10, every little bit helps!

In order to meet the future need for water, we want to build a second reservoir locally, called Cheddar Reservoir Two.
Having undertaken initial investigations, we designed a scheme and developed a planning application that was submitted to Sedgemoor District Council in December 2013.
We understand the importance of this scheme in relation to the local community and environment. From the start, we have been fully committed to working with local residents and key stakeholders to deliver the best possible scheme for the local area as set out in our 'Vision Statement'. A key part of the planning process was an extensive consultation with the community that helped shape the plans before they were finalised.
The application has been submitted to Sedgemoor District Council. All the documents are available to view on the Council website: http://www.sedgemoor.gov.uk/planning%20online/(S(ekrpbzmfjc0poumc11z3wlfp))/enl.aspx. The application number is 17/13/0080.
Cheddar Reservoir Two Flythrough
To see Bristol Water's Vision for Cheddar Reservoir Two please click here.
To find out more about the existing Cheddar Reservoir and its history click here.
Bristol Water supplies more than a million people with water in a 2,400 square kilometre area stretching from Tetbury in the north, to Burnham in the south and east to Wells and Shepton.
It maintains 6,650km of local water mains and operates 16 treatment works to provide water of the highest standard, which is stored in 140 covered reservoirs.
To find out more about Bristol Water click here.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has published a summary of their Final Determination for Bristol Water. This sets allowed levels of total expenditure and investment the company can make between 2015-2020.
The scope of investment has been reduced so Bristol Water is now unable to build some of their proposed schemes, this includes Cheddar Reservoir 2 (CR2). The CMA agreed with Ofwat that the case for beginning construction of the new reservoir had not been sufficiently made for this price review period.
Luis Garcia, CEO of Bristol Water, said: "This news will be a disappointment to a lot of people who have supported this scheme. CR2 was a key part of our water resource plan to make sure we have enough water in the right place to securely supply our customers in the future. We cannot start it now as we had planned and will review our water resources plan in due course to work out the best way to meet future demand."
A summary of the Final Determination is available to read online, see paragraphs 40-43 for the assessment of Cheddar Reservoir 2.
A key part of the planning process will be to consult fully with the community to help shape the plans before they are finalised.

Parsley is a small green plant native to Southern Europe. There are more than 30 varieties of it.
We usually think of it as merely a garnish for other foods, but there is much more to it than you might think.
The parsley family is a large one. It includes many herbs, some spices and common vegetables, such as carrots and celery.
Some of its relatives are anise, dill, angelica, chervil, coriander and caraway, cumin, fennel, lovage, and sweet cicely.

To the Editor:—
Dr. Jarvik does no more than make general statements about the necessity of a control group in an experiment like ours. He cites no objective data to support the assertion that "effects of practice are manifested almost universally...." David Wechsler, author of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), stated to me personally in 1960 that one reason he did not make two forms of the WAIS was that the items had been shown by experiment not to be affected by practice in a hospital population. In the new revision of the Stanford-Binet, it is pointed out that insignificant practice effects were found when the same form was used for retesting; therefore, the new revision came out in only one form.Further, the word "practice" implies that some learning is taking place. Impairment of learning is only one of the signs of malfunction which one looks for in

I installed version 1.4.1 of MP3-jPlayer using Subversion, but WP's admin panel thinks that I have version 1.3.1 and is telling me to upgrade.
Specifically, I added this line to svn:externals:
mp3-jplayer http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/mp3-jplayer/trunk/
Then I ran SVN update, and it fetched and installed MP3-jPlayer just fine. When I look in the plugin's directory, the readme.txt shows that it's version 1.4.1.
But WP's admin panel thinks that it's version 1.3.1 and is telling me that an upgrade is available.
This is a brand-spanking-new installation of WP, and I have never installed any other version of the plugin, so something is going wrong in how mp3-jPlayer is reporting its version number to the WP admin panel.
For now, I'm ignoring the admin panel's warning, since I do have the latest version of the plugin, but it would be nice not to get this error message.
(Note: I don't think I'm doing anything wrong using Subversion. I was able to update Akismet with no problem, and the WP admin panel sees its correct version number.)

Product Description
After Hitler took over power in 1933, many Jewish artists were forced to leave Germany. Wilhelm Furtwängler (Stellan Skarsgård) chose to stay, serving as one of the Nazi`s foremost cultural assets. Though never a member of the Party, Furtwängler was the recipient of government honors and appointments, associated with party members. However, the conductor often used his position and contacts to save hundreds of Jewish musicians from the concentration camps.
When Major Steve Arnold (Harvey Keitel) is given the task of carrying out pre-trial investigations against Furtwängler, his aim is to prove that the conductors artistic genius contributed to the Nazi propaganda machine and their destructive ideology. Conversely, Furtwängler insists he chose to stay to bring comfort to the German people with his music.
Like a master conductor, director István Szabó orchestrates the debate from cat-and-mouse intensity. Taking Sides is that rare film that demands the audience to take a position on an issue: in this case, the complicity or innocence of Wilhelm Furtwängler.

New Qt Version 4.3.4 under GPLv3
Trolltech is releasing version 4.3.4 of its GUI library under the version 3 of the GPL. Apart from this the makers of Qt have simply fixed bugs in the release.
The Norwegian software company removed various bugs in its class library that had led to crashes. For example, certain fonts had caused the X Window system to crash, and directories in the QFile dialog went on strike if they were simultaneously hidden and the current working directory. The QSsl socket was affected by a certificate validation vulnerability. More details are available in the Release Notes.
The class library is available for downloading by Open Source developers under the GPLv3. The move from GPLv2 to GPLv3 is in line with the announcement made by the Trolltech CEO at the KDE Release Event mid-January. The download page has not been updated in this respect and still refers to GPL Version 2. On top of this, the library is not free for commercial implementations (dual licensing). Nokia took over the reins at Trolltech in January (as Linux Magazine reported).

Entertaining and realistic - believable - but be sure to think ! The first version of nightfall was penned by isaac aaimov in 1941; So bear in mind that he was jewish & was understandably distressed by what was happening in the name of religion. The expanded bersion by asimov with silverberg was published in 1970;at the "god is dead" era of rising environmentalism, anti-war demknstrations etc. Thus it's understandable that the main conflict is beyween science and religion, over which will influence the fate of the population more - and SHOULD that be so. Sadly for the people of that planet, tho compromise was possible it wasn't reached. Both sides had valid approaches to problem-solving but insisted on complete control. It is possible to have an orderly society that allows freedom of thought. I suggest the reader consider how we can aim for this in our times.
Imagine a distant, Earthlike planet in a solar system with six suns. This is the planet Kalgash, where the people don't know what nighttime is except in fables and bad dreams. Little do they suspect what will happend when a heavenly eclipse changes their world forever. This book was fun and fascinating. It has a storyline about unique relationsihips, not only between the characters but also between the scientific and religious communities on the fictional world of Kalgash. My only disappointment was that one of the characters I grew to like gets killed in the latter pages. I would encourage anyone who enjoys Science Fiction to check out this excellent work.
He is far and away my favorite author. His story Nightfall is great. Although it doesn't deal with any of the topics of his famous Foundation and Robot series, it is a very well-written book (originally a short story). READ THIS BOOK!
I read the orginial Nightfall years ago and really liked it but did not care so much for this version. I guess there were just so many repeated words with each character. Seemed like unnecessary info.
I havent bought the book becuase i all ready own it and it is an amazing book that is filled with breathtaking moments and makes realize how tribling it is for the charcters to have no sunlight on a world where it id always bright and never dark.
I'm mostly a fan of feminist literature, so sci fi is not my area of expertise at all! However, Nightfall raises REALLY interesting philosophical questions - puzzling, tricky, intriguing. How does the knowledge of potential life on other planets, and the knowledge of how vast our universe is, affect our own day-to-day reality? On earth, we seem numb to it. We see thousands of stars every night, and don't freak out, don't even really pause to marvel at it. But what if we only saw the stars once in a thousand years? What if we suddenly realized, in a momentous epiphany, how small we really are, how high the possibility of life on other planets yet how unattainable complete certainty of this really is? These questions are raised in Nightfall. I remember it more for the interesting, maddening questions it raises than for the characters or plot, although these are quite amusing as well.
Psychiatry and psychology are evil scams run by greedy for revenge .

19 A Blot: Tigers c.1770-80
Brush and grey and black washes on laid paper 19.7 x 28 (7 3/4 x 11)
Much of the text to Cozens's A New Method of Assisting the Invention in Drawing Original Compositions of Landscape (1786) is devoted to expounding the idea of the 'blot' as an image of great suggestive power - by implication one as infinitely various as the cloud in the passage from Shakespeare's Anthony and Cleopatra (Act IV, Scene ii) which he quotes on the title-page:
Sometime we see a Cloud that's dragonish,In theory, then, almost any subject might be suggested by a blot. In practice, however, Cozens makes it clear early on in the treatise that his brief is the 'Composing [of] landscapes by invention', and it is only landscape blots which he chooses to illustrate, along with a repertoire of skies that might be incorporated into such designs (see under no.17). Later on in the treatise, under Rule IV, section 5, he suggests that the student might make separate blots of 'single parts or objects' that might be incorporated into a landscape drawing, such as 'trees, thickets, water, rocks etc' (see also under no.18). However, judging by the blots that survive, neither he nor his pupils can often have made such specialised blots as these, least of all of animal forms - this one apparently being unique.
A Vapour sometime like a Bear, or Lion,
A tower'd citadel, a pendant Rock,
A forked Mountain, or Promontory,
With Trees upon't, that nod unto the World
And mock our Eyes with Air.
Opp? calls this 'the most oriental' of all Cozens's designs, and, indeed, it had a powerful impact on the Chinese author Chiang Yee when he saw the drawing in the 1930s (Opp? 1952, p.102, and Chiang Yee, The Silent Traveller in London, 1938, p.158). Opp? likens Cozens's procedure to that of the Chinese artist, emphasising his power of memory in retaining a subject (perhaps only casually seen for an instant), and then unconsciously moulding it into pictorial form, freed from all superfluous detail and incident. In this drawing, Opp? writes, 'Cozens omits all minor recognizable details and allows the unconscious swirl of his hand to project the mental image of the beasts with the movement and vitality of their masses' (1946, p.9). Cozens wrote in A New Method that 'in order to be able to make out designs from blots', 'a person must have genius', and he defined 'true genius' as the power which 'conceives strongly, invents with originality, and executes readily'. Such qualities apply wholeheartedly to this drawing, with its bold design, simplicity of form and vigorous, expressive brushwork.
As Opp? pointed out, a true blot must, strictly speaking, have no sky and be completed in brushwork in only one tone of black on white paper. This blot, however, has a layer of grey wash applied over the brushwork, whilst no.18 has both sky and additional washes. Blots were, of course, intended to be worked up by means of tracing into more elaborate and detailed drawings (see no.20). However, for quite a number of them, including nos.18 and 19, Cozens seems to have been content just to add a sky or a wash of grey or brown, and then leave them as they stood; Opp? called these 'blot-sketches' (1952, pp.100-2).

The Latok was the first non-quilted Gore-Tex sleeping bag ever made. I designed it for Jim Donini's expedition to Latok 1 in Pakistan in the late 70's. WE didn't make very many so enjoy your Latok as much as I have, cheers Greg Thomsen co-Founder Wilderness Experience. The Latok is a very warm sleeping bag because the outer shell is a non-quilted layer of Gore-Tex fabric. So no heat loss through the quilt lines.

Sierra Designs Men's Backcountry Bed 800 3-Season
Sierra Designs thought outside the traditional box in designing the Backcountry Bed sleeping system. Starting with a basic mummy bag, they removed the zipper and provided a curved opening in the top of the bed. They then attached an integrated oversized comforter that allows the sleeper easy access in and out of the bed. What you end up with is a hybrid mummy bag/quilt, providing the best of both worlds. The comforter, with insulated arm and hand pockets, can be left open or tucked into the bag. Full review
Marmot Men's Helium
Just returned a Marmot Helium bag after two uncomfortable nights in the Wind River Range for cold spots in the hip and upper chest area. Based on my own personal experience I cannot recommend it. I purchased this bag as a replacement for my old reliable Marmot Lithium because, over the years, the down in the bag had seeped through the lining leaving cold spots. The Helium had great features with the full zip from top or bottom to allow easy ingress and egress and foot ventilation plus the partial… Full review

Super affordable sleeping bag. It is perfect for a camper/backpacker on a budget. This bag is not only affordable, it's lightweight and compactable.

Mountain Hardwear Ratio 15
Good all around sleeping bag for three seasons. Used it mainly in Northeastern British Columbia. I got the Ratio 15 and my wife got the Heratio 15. Fits me really well and isn't constrictive. The bag feels cozy and warm and seems to regulate heat pretty well. I haven't noticed any cold spots at all. The shell and dry down really help keep the bag dry. The down is placed well throughout the bag and the baffle along the zipper keeps the cold out. The colour is nice and the materials have a quality… Full review
Big Agnes Buell 30
Comfortable bag that packs down to a small size. I bought this bag with pack-ability in mind. I wanted to put it inside my backpack along with everything else. My old bag is so much bigger, in fact it just barely fits inside the pack by itself. I purchased a Granite Gear compression/dry sack (18L) along with this sleeping bag to get the smallest pack size possible. Now I can put my sleeping bag, tent, stove, hatchet, buck knife, fire starters, and more in the main compartment of the backpack. I… Full review

Like to snuggle? This bag's for you! Starting my AT thru hike in March made the need to stay warm and cozy critical to my ability to stay the course and NEMO delivered: the unique figure-eight shape, blankey-like material around the neck, and generous hooding made even the coldest nights conquerable. Debating, though, if such a warm bag is the best choice for these summer months... There were some incredibly cold nights on the AT in the first weeks on the trail and NEMO's Nocturne 15 kept me thriving… Full review
Western Mountaineering AlpinLite
Great lightweight three-season bag. I bought this bag after taking a nice 30-degree bag on the John Muir Trail in mid-September. We hit some cold weather with nights dipping into the teens. To stay warm, I had to put on every piece of clothing I had and wear it in the sleeping bag. For about 4 oz of additional weight, the Western Mountaineering AlpinLite solved my problem. It is light, super high quality, and fits me great. I got the long version because I am 6'2". One problem I always have with… Full review

Size Exclusion
Chromatography Basics
Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) is a chromatographic method which separates analytes solely based on their size, where molecules are separated on the basis of their exclusion from pores in the column packing material. Larger analytes will elute first, while the smaller molecules interact more with the stationary phase and will elute later.
Based on the analytes and the mobile phases used, size exclusion chromatography can be broken into two main categories, aqueous size exclusion/gel filtration chromatography (GFC) and non-aqueous size exclusion/gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
Aqueous Size Exclusion/ Gel Filtration Chromatography (GFC)
Analyze and/or characterize proteins, peptides, and other biomolecules such as antibodies, immunoglobulins, protein complexes, protein aggregates, and desalting.

Gel Filtration
Chromatography Basics
Gel filtration chromatography (GFC) is used to separate large macromolecules such as antibodies, immunoglobulins, protein complexes, protein aggregates, peptides, and other biomolecules. In gel filtration chromatography, the compounds of interest "filter" through the stationary phase based on their size. Typically aqueous solvents are used in the mobile phase to ensure that the compound of interest maintains biological activity. Gel filtration columns can separate biomolecules that range from 200 to 1,500,000 Daltons in size.
deal gel filtration chromatography columns require a GFC column that has low surface activity, high efficiency, and consistent uniform pore size.

Chromatography Basics
Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) is an effective means of separating and analyzing polymers, resins, oils, plastics, plasticizers, and small organics whose molecular weight can vary from 100-10,000,000 Daltons. HPLC columns used for GPC are packed with polymeric media that can range in pore size from 50 Å to 10E6 Å and can be used with organic solvents such as toluene, THF, methanol, DMF, and methylene chloride.
Ideal gel permeation chromatography requires a GPC column that has superior mechanical strength and extreme solvent and temperature compatibility.
