To our knowledge, our current results are the first empirical evidence in humans to show that vitamin C deficiency, as measured by low plasma ascorbate concentration, is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. In our cohort plasma vitamin C concentration above the limit of deficiency was not associated with the risk of acute myocardial infarction. Thus, high intakes of vitamin C or vitamin C supplements would >> probably << not reduce the risk of acute myocardial infarction. Our findings suggest, instead, that if a minimal necessary requirement of vitamin C is not met the risk of myocardial infarction is increased. "
