Research: Vitamins may increase risk of death - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/diet.fitness/04/16/vitamins.health/index.html)
LONDON, England (CNN) -- Taking antioxidants like vitamins A and E to prolong life may actually have the opposite effect, new research has found.
I take a LOT of supplements - vitamins, minerals and supplements - daily. Everything from a potent all natural multi to saw palmetto, select amino acids, selenium, fish oil, and everything in between. I take about thirty different tabs each day.
HOWEVER, I do agree with the article to some extent - the FAT SOLUBLE vitamins such as A and E should be avoided, especially in excess. Why? Because they tend to store up in the body and create imbalances. Makes sense.
