This study done by Mayo Clinic shows that high doses of Vitamin C are not effective for treating cancer. However, the main flaw in this study is that Vitamin C was administered orally instead of being done as intravenous injections. Experts argue that the issue with this methodology is that it is not meant to treat cancer because the body can't absorb high doses of Vitamin C orally. Instead, Mayo Clinic researchers should have administered Vitamin C by using IV injections to properly asses the effectiveness of this treatment for cancer.
