Things Worth Noting
High-dose vitamin C, given intravenously, acts as a pro-oxidant to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which selectively kills cancer cells by inducing oxidative stress. Unlike normal cells, cancer cells have high iron levels and rely on aerobic glycolysis, making them vulnerable to H2O2 damage via the Fenton reaction. This triggers apoptosis and ferroptosis, disrupting glycolysis, the […]
Vitamin C, scientifically known as ascorbic acid, is celebrated as a cornerstone of nutrition and a powerful antioxidant that supports the immune system, promotes skin health, and combats free radicals. Yet, beneath its well-known benefits lies a fascinating and lesser-discussed phenomenon: under certain conditions, Vitamin C can act as a pro-oxidant, generating hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) […]
No, you should not drink hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizer and can cause serious harm if ingested. Drinking hydrogen peroxide can cause irritation, burns, and tissue damage to the mouth, throat, and digestive system. It can also lead to the formation of gas bubbles in the bloodstream, which can be fatal. Ingesting […]
