As a vaguely related aside, my skin is typically better when I have a decent vitamin c intake. Essentially all I do is have a orange or two every night. Nothing too extreme.

This is VERY anecdotal!



Oranges are not particularly high in ascorbic acid as such things go, so I would expect any effect to be pretty marginal. Other fruits and vegetables contain considerably more.


They are, but you have to eat the peel, too. I actually love it, but it’s not to everyone’s taste. Of course the oranges need to be free of pesticides, peel declared suitable for consumption.


The effects can be significant, even if not due to vit C but something else in the oranges.
