Executive Summary
VITAMIN C SUPPLEMENT PROTECTIVE EFFECT AGAINST LUNG DISEASE "justifies further investigation," a group of researchers from the University of Nottingham, U.K. recommended in a study published in the May issue of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. Based on results associating vitamin C to protective action in the human lung, John Britton, MD, et al. concluded that "further studies are now indicated to determine whether this effect occurs during lung development or whether it is the result of protection against lung damage throughout life."
