In answer to your heading, which is pretty easy, YES.
Usually if your have drinks such as orange juice or fruit juice they almost meet the whole recommended daily intake and even exceed it. If your not getting enough then yes you should be adressing the situation by inceasing it to at least the recommened.

2000 mg per day is a lot of vitamin C. 60mg is 100% DV (according to my multi) which means that 2000mg is 3333% of what you should be taking, which is A LOT. i don't think you need to be taking vitamin C pills on by themselves. you might as well just take a multi and you will get the full 100% DV (or more), or a glass or 2 of OJ a day
Oranges have sugar in them as well. The same amount of sugar as say a Organic Orange Juice
yep load up on the Vitamin C, drinking to much OJ can really hurt the tummy but pill form is fine.
you must be taking supplements then right wow thats heaps...
i bet you get the runs a lot? hahaha. dont forget having to much doesnt really help significantly becuase it gets excreeted..
Yes supplements.
No runs yet, I'm working up to that point slowly. Its called an ascorbic flush...
Thats only a temporary affect. So long as you let your body become used to doing such amounts its perfectly fine. As for it being excreted this is true. Hence why and i quote "take it every 3-4 hours". As this is about the amount of time it takes for it to run its course through the body. there is no documented "cut off" point at which the body stops reaping benefit either.
Basically so long as you gradually increase the dosage your fine. Except for pregnant woman. Its been documented that the internal baby becomes "used" to this amount of C as well and when born if it does not continue to receive the high amount it got it did while it was on the "inside" it can become temporarily sick.
"(more than 1000mg, or 1g/day) may cause artery thickening"
It seems hardly likely that taking high doses of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can cause thickening or hardening of the arteries since so many people have taken high doses for a long time. Yet researchers from the University of California reported just that on March 2, 2000. People who took 500 mgs of ascorbic acid had a 2.5 times faster progression of thickening of the carotid artery (hardening of the arteries) than people who took no supplement.
This study was not a clinical study where subjects are divided into those taking ascorbic acid and those taking a placebo. This was an epidemiological study which means patient records were examined and this finding popped up. There might well have been other confounding factors that would explain the artery-thickening finding.
