So basically this guy who said vitamin C IV in high doses fights cancer was wrong and should be never rehabilitated , because the hypothetised mechanism was the other way around? (anti oxidant -> oxidant)
I think we are forgetting the most important result there: vitamin C IV in high doses fights cancer.
