100% Vitamin C

Eric Brown | General Observations, Things To Ponder | Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

I just poured myself a glass of Ocean Spray Cranberry-Concord Grape juice (the no sugar added kind of course). To my amazement it has 100% of the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C. Why is this amazing?

Have you ever noticed that so many juices contain 100% of the recommended daily amount. They don’t contain 99% and they don’t contain 102%. Is the formulation and the amount of Vitamin C so critical? I love my Vitamin C, but why can’t I also get my Vitamin A, D, E etc. in 100% quantities?

I get my Vitamin C, all 100% of it from various sources, probably to the point of overindulgence if you can call it that. The marketing people at food companies have done a great job in having us crave Vitamin C without really knowing what it is, and have completely forgotten the other important vitamins. In a world of equal opportunity why should other vitamins suffer in silence?

  1. I think it’s time we give these vitamins a voice!

    Forget civil rights for gays; the time has come for vitamins A, D, and E!
