Vitamin scams?

I heard a commercial on the radio the other day for an "Acid free" vitamin C supplement. Since Vitamin C is actually ASCORBIC ACID it left me wondering how this could be honest advertising. Alternative medicine is a huge business and I'd say about 90% of it is bogus from what I've seen. Study after study has shown that more times than not any benefit you derive from 'alternative therapies' are mainly psychological.

Now I'm not saying that medicine is 100% the only way to go. It's just with all of the snake oil salesmen out there how do you know what's real and what's not? It seems like any schmuck with a few hundred dollars can get a Doctorate in nutrition from some bogus university that just wants to get them in as part of some multilevel marketing scheme.

What are ya'll's takes on this?
