Dear Ruth Livingstone,
> How much is 1g vitamin C in terms of natural food?
> One orange? Half glass carton orange juice?
> Anyone know?

more fruit than is good for you I suspect
Manual of Nutrition (HMSO ) says Vit C content /100gr is

Oranges    50mg
Blackcurrants 200mg
green pepers 100mg

500gr of blackurrants (=1 gr Vit C)  is quite a bit of Ribenna and  would do me in I suspect.

Abolish the colds but get the runs instead!!!
all the best
Chris
