Ascorbic is not a correct name of a compound. Should be 'ascorbic acid' or Vitamin C. Such sloppiness cast doubt on accuracy of the whole review.

- malfist 1y agoI mean this guy is not a scientist. He's an enthusiasts aping scientific process. Look at how he talks about the "10-20% flexibility". Hypothesis assumed true, no supporting evidence. Same with his idea of being young longer. No evidence supports this, yet his comments proceed as if it's a gospel truth
- wlonkly 1y agoAgreed, I would have appreciated this more as a peer-reviewed meta-analysis than a blog post.
- oskarkk 1y agoFirst time I hear about him, but it looks like he is a scientist: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Josh-Mitteldorf https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Josh-Mitteldorf > Look at how he talks about the "10-20% flexibility". Hypothesis assumed true, no supporting evidence. He started that part with "Here’s my perspective:", so for me it sounded more like his personal opinion/hypothesis, not a scientific consensus (and that hypothesis wasn't the topic of the article, so it's not strange for me that he gave no evidence for it there).
- malfist 1y agoThat makes this even worse, he should know better. I took a look at his publications and they're nuts. He's actually published claiming that covid vaccinations increase the spread of covid.
- pretzellogician 1y agoRead a little further... it's specifically called ascorbic acid and vitamin C. He probably just wanted to save space within the table.
- alkyon 1y agoIn the table there is also 'Skulachev quinone (SKQ)', so it doesn't look like he ran out of space for writing out the whole name. It kind of gross to call ascorbic acid like that, as someone who studied chemistry I'm revolted.
- RachelF 1y agoThis, and the fact that Ascorbic acid leads to hardening of the arteries also makes it suspect. Many of the studies he refers to are old. There was a widely held belief in the early 1980's promoted by Linus Pauling that Vit C cured cancer.
