Right, just what I always suspected: popping inordinate amounts of vitamin pills wont get you anywhere nice.
A review of 67 studies found "no convincing evidence" that antioxidant supplements cut the risk of dying. Trials involving 233,000 were conducted by scientists at Copenhagen University who said vitamins A and E could interfere with the body's natural defences.
"Even more, beta-carotene, vitamin A, and vitamin E seem to increase mortality," according to the review by the respected Cochrane Collaboration.At the same time, the Health Supplements Information Service, which is funded by the association which represents those who sell supplements, said that "for the millions who are not able to to get everything they needed from their diet, vitamins can be a useful supplement and they should not stop taking them."
So now you know folks: you really don't need to eat properly, just keep popping those jolly-coloured pills, you'll be fine.
