New study on vitamin C gummies - legit or biased?
Hey everyone! I just read this study (PMID: 12345678) that says vitamin C gummies are no better than placebo for immune support. I'm kinda shocked since I've been taking them for years. Do you think this is legit or just another hit piece on supplements?
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it's biased. Big Pharma wants you to think supplements don't work so you buy their meds. But also, many gummies are packed with sugar, which can weaken your immune system. Maybe that's why they found no benefit. I always choose sugar-free options.
I've seen so many studies contradict each other. One says vitamin C helps, another says it doesn't. As a grandma, I just want to keep my grandkids healthy. I give them gummies mainly because they like them, but I also make sure they eat fruits and veggies. Moderation is key.
LemonLiam, you gotta check who funded the study. If it's from a drug company, take it with a grain of salt. But let's be real, most gummies are basically candy with a tiny bit of vitamins. I only trust brands that have third-party testing and no artificial junk. My kids get their nutrients from real food, not gummies.
