Colds, coughs and the weather, sentence 12

The vitamin C idea was made famous by Linus Pauling, a great chemist with two Nobel Prizes, who was wrong about this outside his own work: for most people, taking lots of vitamin C does not stop colds; studies suggest it may shorten them slightly for some people.

Who acts: Linus, great chemist, taking, studies, cold, idea · What happens: make, be, take, not stop, suggest, shorten · To what, where: C idea, lots, colds, studies · Speech: someone speaks here
