The health of the body is strongly influenced by the nutrients in food, including vitamins and minerals crucial for supporting energy levels and overall stability. Vitamin C, in particular, plays a significant role in the body’s ability to resist contamination from heavy metals present in consumed food, thereby affecting the organ’s capacity to defend against such attacks. Failure to address contamination can lead to deteriorating health, causing symptoms such as headaches, convulsions, weight loss, allergies, cognitive impairment, skin issues, and conditions affecting the central nervous system. Various risk factors contribute to vitamin C deficiency, including alcoholism, infants exclusively fed cow’s milk, elderly individuals consuming a limited diet of tea and toast, financial constraints preventing access to fruits and vegetables, smoking, eating disorders, type 1 diabetes with increased vitamin C needs, gastrointestinal disorders like inflammatory bowel disease, iron overload resulting in the kidneys wasting vitamin C, restrictive diets, and food allergies.
