I’d like to share with you some really

unusual symptoms that are associated

with a vitamin C deficiency things that

you probably have never heard before you

may know if you’re deficient in vitamin

C you’re going to get bleeding gums or

you might get tired or you might have a

loss of collagen that can show up in a

lot of different ways with your skin

joints tendons ligaments things like

that you also probably know that people

take Vitamin C when they get sick

because a deficiency can create a

lowered immune system I recently did a

video talking about vitamin C

deficiencies in increasing your risk to

getting biofilms which can actually be

the plaquing or tartar in your teeth but

I think what’s even more important is to

understand what vitamins really are what

actually does a vitamin do

many people don’t really know they know

it’s associated with their health but

what is that vitamin doing in your body

vitamins are cofactors now what is a

cofactor it’s something that works with

15 different enzymes without vitamins

and certain minerals these enzymes can’t

work now what happens when you’re

deficient in vitamin C is your body is

going to start allocating the vitamin C

that you have to just the essential

enzymes to keep you alive okay not all

of them so this is the reason why some

people have certain symptoms of a

vitamin deficiency but not others they

may have a subclinical deficiency but

they don’t have a major deficiency but

you do have to realize that if you

completely run out of vitamin C you will

die it’s very fatal you know scurvy

which is a severe vitamin C deficiency

became a really big problem when they

started to use pasteurization like for

milk and giving it to babies babies

would end up with scurvy so heat does

degrade vitamin C now that you have that

information let’s go through some

symptoms that you probably never

connected with a vitamin C deficiency

number one hypochondria that’s right

hypochondra is a symptom of a vitamin C

deficiency which is pretty wild and I’m

going to put the references down below

so if someone’s a deficient about

vitamin C they can literally be kind of

paranoid thinking that they have every

single disease around when they really

don’t that’s interesting depression is

another symptom of a vitamin C

deficiency

this next one is called periphollicular

hyperkeratosis now what is that

Perry means around the follicle like the

hair follicle and hyperkeratosis is kind

of like a roughened red little scaly um

skin lesion that is around the hair

follicles and sometimes the hair

follicle coils okay that is a vitamin C

deficiency so if you have it you should

start taking vitamin C

number four anemia

we think iron B12 but we don’t really

think vitamin C a vitamin C deficiency

can cause anemia dry hair

inflamed veins as in spider veins

shortness of breath

also vitamin C is needed for the

adrenals so you can have a problem with

your adrenaline if you don’t have enough

vitamin C now where do we get vitamin C

it’s in fruits and vegetables right now

there is some vitamin C in beef liver

but it’s only like 27 milligrams per 100

grams of liver okay that’s not too much

the rdas are the requirements that our

body needs is roughly about 70

milligrams and this is 27. steak has

some vitamin C but it’s 25 micrograms

right not milligrams just a tiny bit

but mainly if he berries Peppers

sauerkraut has the most is like 10 times

more than anything else or leafy greens

you’re gonna get your vitamin C however

if you get a hundred percent apple juice

right it says right here it’s high in

vitamin C it says in the back of a label

if you drink one cup you’ll get a

hundred percent of the rdas for vitamin

C well could this be true well let’s

take a look

all right so we have a large apple and

one cup of apple juice which comes out

to 237 milliliters okay if we take a

look at the sugar and we compare it we

have one two three four five six

teaspoons of sugar and one apple and we

have one two three four five six seven

teaspoons of sugar in one cup of apple

juice the thing to know about is this

thing right here this is one teaspoon of

sugar this is how much sugar that we’re

supposed to have in all of our blood at

any given time one teaspoon of sugar

that’s in our entire system all of our

blood right the amount of sugar that an

average person consumes well I’m not

gonna even get into it because it’s just

way way too much so if we were to chop

this apple up you know it’d be roughly

like one cup and so what I want to show

you is the amount of sugar in one apple

is almost the same amount of sugar in

one cup of apple juice however the

effect on your hormones from eating an

apple versus juice is drastically

different when you’re consuming juice

without the fiber you’re going to get a

big spike in blood sugars and you’re

going to get a rebound effect of insulin

coming in to push that blood sugar down

which is going to make you hungry and a

little tired about 30 minutes after

drinking this juice versus an apple

which has a good amount of sugar but it

also has the fiber which buffers this

blood sugar response so fiber kind of

dampens out the spike in blood sugars

there’s actually two things that will

lower this blood sugar insulin response

one is fiber and the other is fat so if

you were going to have the choice of

consuming these two of course this would

be better and if you added fat with this

as in maybe some nut butter on your

Apple you would buffer the insulin

response even more and of course I’m not

recommending this because there’s still

a lot of sugar in here but if you were

to have the choice this would be a much

better choice and of course adding The

Nut Butter would even be a better choice

now what’s interesting about this apple

juice

it says 100 apple juice not from

concentrated okay but if you look really

close right here it’s hard to make this

out what this says it says with added

ingredients what are the other

ingredients

well it says apple juice and ascorbic

acid ascorbic acid why are they putting

ascorbic acid in there well the answer

lies in the expiration date it says

September 23

2024 it’s 2022 right now it’s November

2024. so this is going to expire in like

two years how can this sit on the Shelf

without being refrigerated for another

two years well because it’s pasteurized

okay that’s heated one thing that is

interesting to know about vitamin C it

is very sensitive to light and heat okay

as in pasteurization even at

temperatures at 86 degrees Fahrenheit

you start to break down vitamin C the

temperatures they use to pasteurize this

juice is like 185 degrees Fahrenheit so

as you can see they destroy the vitamin

C in apple juice and they have to add it

back in there so so that way unlabel

they can say it’s high in vitamin C the

only problem is the source of vitamin C

they’re using doesn’t come from natural

apples it comes from cornstarch and

sulfuric acid it’s made synthetically

it’s out of the normal vitamin C complex

it’s basically a synthesized version at

a part of vitamin C called ascorbic acid

I have a very interesting video on the

real vitamin C check it out I put it up

right here
