Does supplemental vitamin C increase cardiovascular disease
risk in women with diabetes?
http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/80/5/1194

"A 15-year study of postmenopausal women found that diabetic
women who reported taking at least 300 mg/day of vitamin C
from supplements when the study began were at significantly
higher risk of death from coronary heart disease and stroke
than those who did not take vitamin C supplements."

I am very interested in Dr. Fonorow's evaluation of these results.
My wife is a diabetic and is taking 3000 MG of Vitamin C per day.
She is 70 years old and severely under weight, but feisty as teenager.

Thanks for your assistance.
