Linus Pauling Theory

Nutrition experts postulate that the nutrition we need is those nutrients commonly found in a routine diet. Industry delegates, backed by a riveting history, defend that foods are not composed of enough nutrients, and we need additional supplements. Fortuitously, many awesome studies have now solved the problem. New studies have shown that people who take supplements that thought they were improving their health, actually made it worse. October 10, 2011, researchers from the University of Minnesota discovered that women who took multivitamin supplements died at rates higher than those who did not. A couple of days later, researchers from the Cleveland Clinic found that males who took vitamin E increased their risk of prostate cancer.

Pauling argued that electron sharing was somewhere between ionic and covalent. Pauling's idea overturned the subject area, joining quantum physics with chemistry hand in hand. His concept was so extraordinary that when the editor of the journal received the manuscript, he couldn't find anyone eligible enough to review it. For this paper, Pauling received the Langmuir Prize as the most outstanding young chemist in the United States, became the youngest person elected to the National Academy of Sciences, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and was made a full professor at Caltech, He was 30 years old.
He went on to earn many more awards and recognition, but at age 65 his life turned upside down and he became a medical quack. He wrote in his book that taking 3000mg of vitamin C (about 50 times the recommended amount) would not only cure colds and prevent them, but it would also make you live longer by 25 years and possibly more. His book became a bestseller, and people were prescribing large amounts of vitamin C by the thousands. By the mid-1970s, 50 million Americans were following Pauling's words.Vitamin manufacturers called it "the Linus Pauling effect."
People need free radicals to kill bacteria and eliminate new cancer cells. People are not as exposed to the good part, as “antioxidant” is stuck on almost every smoothie label you pass at the store.
Although large amounts of vitamins may be detrimental to one’s health, small amounts of very specific vitamins can help greatly. Doctors may need to single out certain vitamins and minerals creating a deficiency, and help individuals get the proper dosage. The elderly for example, usually have a B12 deficiency as well as may need calcium supplements to help make their bones thicker and more healthy. Taking too many vitamins that one may not need could cause one to die a little bit faster, or increase the risks or the risk of several types of cancer.
Just because someone may claim to have credentials as a well known scientist, they may not always be factual. Please pay attention to the studies that disprove inaccurate information and are not biased in any way. Talk to your doctor. They could potentially help you later, and even improve the longevity of your
