In the same way as Unhappy Meals articles unveil the controversies of healthy eating, recent articles are sparkling doubts regarding the use of Vitamins.Antioxidant vitamins are not life savers!!!
People who take antioxidant vitamins such as A, C and E -- long touted as protecting against cancer, heart disease and other health problems - don't live any longer, new research shows.
Worse yet, there is actually evidence that they die younger than people who don't take vitamins.
The latest findings contradict the findings of observational studies claiming that antioxidants improve health according the Centre for Clinical Intervention Research at Copenhagen University Hospital in Denmark.
The research, published in today's Journal of the American Medical Association, should be of interest to the millions of consumers who regularly take vitamin supplements.

These findings apply only to supplements containing high doses of antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, E and beta carotene.
The findings do not apply to multivitamins. There are also clear benefits to supplements such as vitamin D and folic acid for pregnant women.
