    And yet the paper supports my argument. That the article is shit.

    Despite food additive ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol having identical structures to their naturally occurring forms,their effects can differ based on factors such as food matrix (composition, structure, etc.), dosage, and interactions with other food compounds affecting bioavailability.

    There’s nothing about the ascorbic acid’s “naturalness” in how it came to be that is in question. It’s in how it interacts with other things in the foods to which it is added.

    It’s not “natural” vs. “evil lab-created” vitamin C.

      Yet the paper specifically mentions:

      food additive ascorbic acid

      Vs

      their naturally occurring forms

      And can you stop talking about “evil-lab chemicals” like I’m some sort of paleo diet moron.

      You’re trying to argue that I said there’s a chemical difference. You can try to quote me on that if you want.

      I specifically and only talked about the manufactured and naturally occurring form and its effects on the human body.

      Exactly like the paper does.

        Which are chemically identical… Which the paper says as well. Yes? Did I misread that? Are they saying there are differences in the chemical composition?
