Medical columnist: Some doctors recommend taking vitamin C to help maintain overall health because vitamin C is an antioxidant, a substance that protects the body from certain types of oxygen particles that can trigger disease. ██████ █████████ ████ ███████ ████████ ███ ██████████ ██ ████ ███████ █ ██ █████ ███████ ██████████ █████ ██████ █████████ ████████ ███████ ███ ███ ████████████ ████ ██████ ████████ ████ ██████ ███████ ██ ████ ████ ████ ███ ██████████ █████████ ████ ████ ███████ ████ ███ ███████████ ██ █████ ███████ ███████
Why do doctors discourage some cancer patients from taking vitamin C, even though some doctors encourage people suffering from other illnesses to take vitamin C to guard against developing other health problems?
The correct answer should help suggest how taking vitamin C might be negative for cancer patients, even if it’s helpful for patients with other illnesses.

Vitamin C is recommended because it helps guard against developing “other health problems.” So, even if it doesn’t help with cancer, it can still guard against other illnesses in a cancer patient. We’d still expect doctors to recommend vitamin C to cancer patients.
