RE: Seabuckthorn - a source of antioxidants and a "shield" against cold and flu
Seabuckthorn with honey can fool you because honey contains a lot of glucose and lowers the effect of vitamin C on the cell because vitamin and glucose have the same receptor to enter the cell.
This is said that when you eat sweets it lowers your immunity.
Lucian, following your idea, does that mean that it is not good to drink lemonade with honey because honey reduces the effects of vitamin C? Are you sure what you say? Because I read a lot of articles and books about health and it's the first time I hear about it. If your statement is true, please send me the link where you read to find out more details.
Indeed, sweets it lowers immunity, but please know that seabuckthorn with honey is a natural treatment that is administered for a short time (5-6 days) to get rid of colds and flu (in general).

Text: In cazul Vitamina C, exista o incompatibilitate de facto cu orice „îndulcitor”: Având o formula chimica apropriata de cea a glucozei, cele doua molecule dispun de acelaşi transportator si de acelaşi receptor pentru a pătrunde in celula, prioritar fiind glucoză. Aşadar orice îndulcitor natural sau chimic, de la Maltodextrina sau mierea de albine, adăugat la o doza de vitamina C, va diminua enorm asimilarea acesteia prin „competiţia de taxi” pentru a intra in celula. Oare de ce Vitamina C se găseşte cu prioritate in fructele acre si acide? Pentru ca in natura lucrurile sunt chibzuite cu rost. In schimb, orice tableta de Vitamina C „îndulcită” sau catina pusa cu miere la borcan îşi anulează mult din asimilarea Vitaminei C la nivel celular. Prezint aici mai jos un rezumat din revista Nutritional (referinţă pe plan mondial in domeniu): Carr AC, Bozonet SM, Pullar JM, Simcock JW, Vissers MC. A Randomized Steady-State Bioavailability Study of Synthetic versus Natural (Kiwifruit-Derived) Vitamin C. Nutrients. 2013 Sep 17;5(9):3684-95. doi: 10.3390/nu5093684.
Deaceea zic eu fructele si legumele bogate în vitamina C nu sunt dulci ( lamai, catina, patrunjel, ardei gras rosu ). / That is why I say that fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C are not sweet (lemon, strawberry, parsley, red pepper).
