    It definitely says there’s a difference in origin.

    I worded that poorly - I meant “due to origin”.

    I also never said there was a chemical difference between the two, I just talked about the effects. Just like the manuscript.

    Then riddle me this - how do two identical things have different effects?

    The paper says it’s not due to the origin of the chemical but due to interactions with other things in the food to which it was introduced.

    It does not matter if the Vit. C was created in a lab, in a fruit, or divinely produced by God.

      You can read that in the paper. I really don’t see why this is such a difficult concept for you.

      You had a nice null hypothesis based on your assumptions. Then new evidence comes along that shows it’s all not that black and white. The scientific way is to reject your null hypothesis and adjust your hypothesis based on the findings. Not the other way around like you’re doing. And especially not going: “riddle me this” like a MAGA / TPUSA bad faith debater.

      The fact that you can’t figure it out also doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

      Nobody said that if you manage to extract the vitamin C in an orange and replaced it with manufactured vitamin C there would be a chemical difference. There is however, a difference in effect on the human body, as clearly stated in my initial comment as in the study.
