At the University of Tennessee, in a study published in the journal Circulation in 1995, researchers evaluated the effect of Vitamin C on more than 11,000 patient. They found that men and woman over the age of 55 who consumed high levels of vitamin C experienced less thickening of the carotid arteries, compared to individuals who consumed lower amounts. The conclusion of the investigators: Vitamin C appears to protect against arherosclerotic disease.
In order to get the levels of Vitamin C we need to fight heart disease we we may need to supplement. It really is impossible to get it solely from vegetables as the amount to intake is so extremely high. Getting it from fruit juices is a bad idea because of the high sugar content especially if you are already overweight. My favorite drink to supplement with is
