Stunning finding reported in Reader’s Digest:
A February report in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that taking antioxidant vitamins actually increased a person’s risk of dying by up to 16 percent.
. . . . But in 47 randomized trials involving almost 181,000 adults, researchers found that taking vitamins A, beta carotene and E, alone or in combination, actually increased a person’s risk of dying by up to 16 percent.
Personally, I find my odds daunting, but at least they’re not 116% chance of dying.
