This one was for Chemistry (the second was the Peace Prize) and he won it for promoting the idea that large doses of vitamin C could lessen the effects of the common cold.

Stroke can cut a person’s life short because most of the time it comes with no warning or masked as something else. Most people who end up with stroke first had to contend with vascular diseases.
