Vitamin C has been found to be effective in reducing oxidative stress, according to a recent study.
A research team led by Suh Hyung-joo, a food and nutrition professor at Korea University, announced on Aug. 30 that vitamin C has an anti-oxidative stress effect and helps maintain stable biorhythm.
The researchers conducted an experiment with fruit flies between September 2015 and last May to study the effects of vitamin C, caffeine and taurine on behavior and lifespan.
According to the study, fruit flies taking caffeine or taurine were in an aroused state while those taking vitamin C were in stable condition.
Also fruit flies that took vitamin C lived longer than those taking taurine or caffeine.
"From the research, we concluded that vitamin C controls oxidative stress, maintains stable biorhythm and activates physiological functions while taurine and caffeine shorten life expectancy," Suh told The Korea Times.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
