Recent Warnings Against Taking Vitamin C & E Are Wrong
There were recent reports in the media about a study that found that taking Vitamins C and E caused a higher risk of death. In the Danish study researchers reported a 4 to 7 increase in death risk in those taking the vitamins.
According to Jeffrey Blumberg, Ph.D., director of the antioxidants research lab at Tufts University in Boston, the methodology was flawed since most of the people in the study were already very ill.
Blumberg also said that hundreds of studies have been conducted showing the safety of Vitamins C & E.
So…I’m still taking mine.
