Some time ago, Linus Pauling, an atomic scientist, suggested that vitamin C could be used to cure cancer; his research was discredited (the link is from 1999; the papers discussed in it date from the 1980s).

So I was surprised to hear about this just now.

Although Googling "vitamin C cancer" shows me that lots of research has been going on, with a variety of different results.

Yeah, I was surprised to read that. I also feel quite guilty because I thought my surgeon was being a flippant arse when he said "take some vit C" in response to my comment that I was worried it might come back. Oh well.
