Vitamin C: How Much Do You Really Need?
People whose diets are rich in fruits and vegetables have lower rates of cancer, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses. That means the ideal way to meet your requirements for vitamin C is by eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. You not only get plenty of vitamin C, but you reap the benefits from all the other nutrients these foods contain.
Cforyourself: Heart Disease & Vitamin C
Our diets, especially in "developed" countries have gone through dramatic changes in this period. There is a very real connection between this new disease and our new diets.
Vitamin C is Nature's Statin

"Dr. Rath's discoveries will be considered among the most important of the 20th century." Two-time Nobel Laureate, Linus Pauling (1901-1994). Pauling's partner in crime regarding Vitamin C research.
Statins Inhibit Coenzyme Q10 Synthesis
Since coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and cholesterol are both synthesized from the same substance, mevalonate, statin drugs (Lipitor, Zocor, etc) also inhibit the body's synthesis of coenzyme Q10. This is not a "side effect," of statins, but a direct, inherent function of the drugs.

Vitamin C beats statins in cholesterol - heart disease - Health Supreme
If we had simply eaten our fruit (lots of it) or taken our vitamin C, as Pauling recommends, we would have eliminated the cause of heart attacks - degrading arterial walls - and on the way we would also have lowered our cholesterol. Naturally, cheaply and definitely.

The results suggest a reduced incidence of major CHD events at high supplemental vitamin C intakes. The risk reductions at high vitamin E or carotenoid intakes appear small.

NEJM -- Lp(a) Lipoprotein, Vascular Disease, and Mortality in the Elderly
Among older adults in the United States, an elevated level of Lp(a) lipoprotein is an independent predictor of stroke, death from vascular disease, and death from any cause in men but not in women. These data support the use of Lp(a) lipoprotein levels in predicting the risk of these events in older men.
