It is one of the best books I have read to contribute for anyone's health. L.Pauling's recommendations should be tried by anyone who has trouble with having colds and breathing problems. The book has so much information about vitamins that it's been very important for my own education about doctors and medicine.

Linus Pauling goes right to the science of nutrition with an emphisis on vitamin C as a prophalactic against ailments of every kind. I found the book easy to read but full of hard science, clinical trials and useful practical methods of protection against everything from the common cold to cancer. This book offers those interested in a scientific approach to vitamin supplements an incredible amount of hard evidence supporting daily intake of Vitamin C as a protector of the body from the toxins and diseases we come in contact with everyday. It actually changed my whole mindset towards supplements and bet it will change yours as well. I highly recomend it to all those planning or currently using vitamin and mineral supplements.
