Vitamin C dosages?

[StoneColdGold]

I've always been a big believer in relatively high doses of Vitamin C... in the neighborhood of 4-6 grams/day.

Some anonymous yahoo over at t-mag who summarizes the month's muscle mags mentioned in his article that at higher dosages (which he labels 500-3000mg) actually turns vitamin-c into a pro-oxidant!

This pisses me off. Any thoughts?

has anyone seen any science to back up this guys claim?

Vitamin-C is the most under rated and cheapest compound out there. If the drug companies could make a ton of money from "C" we would see a lot more research on how it affects many diseases in a positive way.
I take 3-grams a day.

I get chronic throat infections, colds, tonsilitis, even when I took my multivitamin which has 1 gram of Vit C. It was like clockwork. I've had a throat infection every 6-8 weeks for the last 5 years. Since I upped my Vit C doseage to 3 grams a day I haven't been sick once in the past 5 months. Coincidence?? I don't think so.
