Dear Members.

I have received a piece of information that I am not able to qualify.
I would appreciate any comment on this subject.
I do not have not the slightest idea, if this information is correct or not.

Now having completed my warning, the following.

L-Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) + Salt (Sodium Chloride) - When mixed produce Formaldehyde.

         C6H8C6   +   NaCl (or KCl)  =HCHO

First, ascorbic acid is C6H6O6, not C6H6C6.

In any chemical equation, the sides must balance. They do not, such a reaction as shown is impossible. The number of carbons would go from 6 to 1, the number of hydrogen atoms would go from 8 to 2, the number of oxygen atoms would go from 6 to 1, and the number of sodium and chlorine atoms would go from 1 to 0.

The only possible equation I see of that mix is:

C6H8O6 + NaCl < NaC6H7O6 + HCl

That is that if you take Sodium ascorbate the hydrochloric acid in your stomach will reduce it to ascorbic acid and table salt.
