Re: Lugols in Orange Juice

What happens in a human's digestive system is not what happens in a laboratory test; but I feel that Vitamin C is easily oxidized and would tend to keep it away from an oxidizing agent. I don't really know if this would make a difference in the Iodine therapy protocol; but it is cheap enough to take advantage of these agents in their original state as long as possible. It certainly cannot harm any more than it may not hurt. It helps me - psychologically. I tend to take Iodine separate from food too; because I know Iodine somehow reacts with starch. I prefer to give iodine a head start in whatever process it needs to get where ever it is supposed to without alteration.

Remembering that this is not what may happen in our bodies, in a controlled test of combining the two agents:

The iodine is reduced to iodide, and the vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is
oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid.
