Beta carotene is a precursor the body can convert to vitamin A. Unfortunately, as a supplement, synthetic beta carotene is usually “stabilized” in refined vegetable oils. In this trans fatty acid form, oxidation occurs and the chemically “pure” beta carotene can no longer act as a nutrient, because it was changed. Almost all synthetic beta carotene is produced by the Swiss drug giant Hoffman-LaRoche.

This form can no longer be converted to vitamin A. The best it can be is worthless, and at the worst is toxic.

Over 90% of ascorbic acid in this country is manufactured at a facility in Nutley, New Jersey, owned by Hoffman-LaRoche, one of the world’s biggest
drug manufacturers. Here ascorbic acid is made from a process involving cornstarch and volatile acids. Most U.S. vitamin companies
then buy the bulk ascorbic acid from this single facility. After that, marketing takes over. Each company makes its own labels, its own claims, and
its own formulations, each one claiming to have the superior form of vitamin C, even though it all came from the same place, and it’s really not vitamin
C at all.

Ascorbic Acid is Not Vitamin C.

For those of you who never read labels and just buy the bottles or jars that say “Vitamin C” (or something to that effect.) Well, you are about to learn more than you ever thought you needed to know about Vitamin C.

But trust me, you need to know!

So, ascorbic acid is not vitamin C.

Alpha tocopherol is not vitamin E.

Retinoic acid is not vitamin A.

And so on through the other vitamins.

Vast sums of money have been expended to make these myths part of Conventional Wisdom.
