Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.

2 large prospective cohort studies involving tens of thousands of people found that high vitamin C intake increases the relative risk of kidney stones but the findings are slightly misleading because they didn't report the actual incidence rate of kidney stones the higher risk was only found after statistical manipulation of the data and the patients with higher vitamin C intake actually did not have more kidney stones
