| rofl true that. also i don't really have a runny nose or sore throat now so no worries there. shouldn't be getting one for a while yet. every year, for probably the last 5 or 6 years at least, i get a cold from mid-late january till the beginning of march. just a light cold, nothing that bad, but sitll. every year. |

don't take an excessive amounts of Vit. C. Despite of the long belief that you can never take too much, this has been proven otherwise. |
really?
as far as i'd learned, vitamin c (unlike some other vitamins) is one of those where your body will take as much as it needs and just flush the rest out, and there's a fairly fast turnover. so taking 1000% of your daily dose at once won't do you much good, but if you take a few vitamins per day or drink oj across the course of the day you'll be pretty well off. |

P.S. Don't listen to goodgreef. Your body DOES secrete what you don't use. You'd have to REALLY be abusing vitamin C over a LONG period of time to have negative effects. |

shewolf ftw.
yeah, that's right. Excessive vit. c over a long period of time is no good for you, but it all depends on your body how long that period of time can be.
and the effects of overdosing aren't all that evil either - screws up your metabolism, you get the runs, and etc.
Nothing is good in excess, even if your body spits out what it doesn't need, there is still a limit. |

| Mmmmmm hot chocolate. My friend's mom gave me some chocolate+raspberry flavored stuff for my birthday, but I left it in her car. :/ |

| Listerine strips three at a time on the roof of your mouth will clear the sinuses for sure. |
