Sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the conference provided a forum for the presentation of data on the biologic and clinical actions of vitamin C. The data caused many participants to reconsider the importance of this agent in physiologic and clinical events.Vitamin C participates in numerous physiologic processes, many of which may have clinical implications. For instance, it is...References1. Dunn W, Rettura G, Seifter E, and Englard S.
