Q. A vitamin C deficiency leads to a breakdown in the arterial walls, due to a lack of repair options. The liver produces cholestoral to plug the cracks, so blood doesn't start leaking through the coronary artery walls. So why is cholestoral considered bad when it's saving your life?
A. You've hit on an important topic, because there is some research coming out now, that seems to indicate our thinking on this has been backward;
it is a MARKER for something bad happening, but it's not actually the CAUSE of the problem.
In other words, yes, high levels in your bloodstream are connected to heart disease, etc., but that doesn't mean it's causative.
So, to take Statins, etc., to cut down on the levels, may be actually harming you.
And you're a bit off on the Vitamin C thing; yes, SCURVY causes the lesions you're talking about, but that is not 'mild' Vitamin C deficiency, that is ACUTE deficiency.
Eating too much saturated fats, and not exercising enough is by far the biggest causes of lesions inside your arteries.
And taking megadoses of Vitamin C has not been proven to help anyone in any way, incidentally.

Some questions about animals and their diets?
Q. 1. How do gorillas get so muscular without eating protein?
2. Why don't lions and wolves get scurvy or have vitamin c deficiency from not eating fruits and vegetables?
3. Do bears get arterial blockage from eating such fatty diets?
4. Why doesn't my vet want me to feed my dog fresh meat and other healthy freshfoods that agree with them? I've heard it's because they get kickbacks for promoting dog food products.

A. You have the American food industry to thank for our perception that protein can only come from animal food sources. Leafy greens are extremely dense in protein, iron, and calcium. That's how gorillas become so muscular.
Carnivores have different adaptations so that they can survive on meat. Bears and humans have a history of surviving primarily on plant based foods. Over time, too much animal based foods will lead to osteoporosis, cancers, diabetes, and vascular diseases. The typical American diet leads to high rates of these diseases.
I'd say that most medical professionals have training that has been deliberately influenced to favor certain well funded technologies and certain food industries. I believe that medical professionals are well meaning, but often misled by powerful interests.

Does sudden yellow teeth indicate a particular vitamin deficiency?
Q. I've been an orange juice junkie my whole life, but I've been without it for a month now and just noticed my bottom teeth are definitely more yellow than before. I'm wondering if the two could be related. Is this a sign of a Vitamin C or some other vitamin deficiency?
A. This is from http://en.allexperts.com/q/Dentistry-966/toddlers-teeth-turning-yellow.htm
says: The yellow color is probably a surface stain. It is certainly not from a nutritional or vitamin deficiency, nor is it a symptom of an illness.
