I think you always have to check out their sources and who wrote the article. I never take any of the health advice at face value. It also depends on the magazine, some are more reputable than others. Cosmo for example, is usually full of pure opinion and garbage. I can't even read it anymore it's gotten so bad. Other magazines at least conduct interviews with intelligent people.
There are a ton of lazy writers out there, magazines are constantly trying to make printing deadlines and they don't check their resources that well sometimes.
Most magazine authors today try to get their information off the internet then do follow up research with the authors of that content via interviews and such. They also review a list huge list of SME (subject matter experts) and find what they want there.
Sometimes you need to take what you read with a grain of salt, there are negative alterior motives in a lot of writing these days whether it be ego, politics, paid reviews, or plain research laziness.
I recently saw an irresponsible piece in Self magazine about chiropractors. Since we sell magazines to chiropractors, I had many call and cancel their subscription because of unfounded comments in that one article.
As for your comment about Vitamin C, I've read that your body doesn't really absorb much via pill form unless you combine it with Alpha Lipoic Acid.
