<b>NO, they can't and never would.</b> The most widespread fraud of the pharmaceutical industry is a rumor that vitamin C supposedly contributes to the formation of kidney stones. Kidney stones are made of crystals of different mineral composition. Most are calcium salts. Stones formed from calcium phosphate dissolve in acidic urine with vitamin C, therefore, this vitamin prevents them from occurring. However, in the form of oxalate stones, calcium does not dissolve in acidic urine. Although vitamin C can increase the production of oxalate, but also reduces the affinity of oxalate to bind calcium, reducing the risk of stone formation. Numerous studies of healthy individuals showed that the level of oxalate excreted in the urine is not a rose noticeably after the administration of additional doses of vitamin C. Kidney stones are formed primarily by a disturbance in the metabolism or abnormal kidney function, but it must establish a doctor. However, you can prevent the formation of stones through changes in the diet: drink 2 to 2, 5 liters of drinks per day (improves the leaching of stones), a diet rich in fiber and less meat products, limiting alcohol consumption and so-called. soft-drinks containing a lot of phosphorus, fat and sugar. The daily allowance of vitamins B complex, magnesium and vitamin C is also important. <br />
