Summary:
Dr. Bernadine Healy debunks a recent headlined vitamin study
Meta analysis in JAMA concluded that people taking certain common antioxidants were putting their health if not their lives in danger
Analysis combined studies that were so diverse in subject, method, and outcome that its conclusions are meaningless
Comment: Ignore this vitamin study and continue taking your multi vitamins and other supplements as necessary. Even the best journals have an occasional clunker.
