There was an ad on tv recently by (I think) Jameson's, a "natural"
vitamin manufacturer and supplier of quack products. Part of it said
that it sourced its Vit C from sugar beet grown in the Scottish
Highlands. ********! I seriously doubt there is any serious arable
farming there and certainly not on the scale needed.
However, one of about 3 factories in the world that synthesizes Vit C
from sugar is in Scotland.
