 Taking pills may backfire
The following is a scan of part of an article that apeared in the newspaper here today: ================================================================== Taking pills may backfire. Recent studies on vitamin C and beta-carotene have shown that anti-oxidants taken out of context of their normal, chemical constituents may actually cause disease. ================================================================== Is this author right? Have I been harming myself all these years by taking vitamin C and beta-carotene? Paul Ostrof

Recent studies have shown the cholesterol {*filter*} kill more than thought. So where *IS* the truth in these "recent studies"?? Cheers, John Quote:

Recent studies have reported that. Old studies have reported that. And, that is precisely what the medical establishment has been claiming for decades. I would stop taking beta-carotene supplements since their use is linked to an increase risk of lung cancer. Then I would suggest that you check out the following links of mine: http://info.naturalhealthperspective.com/antioxidants.html http://info.naturalhealthperspective.com/vitamincstory.html http://info.naturalhealthperspective.com/vitaminestory.html http://food.naturalhealthperspective.com/carotenes.html -- John Gohde, Achieving good health is an Art, NOT a Science!

Two major clinical trials have found that beta-carotene supplements increase cancer and cardiovascular deaths. You should not take beta-carotene supplements. Vitamin C is generally considered safe up to 500 mg/day. There is probably no benefit to larger doses. -Jay

That study was flawed by the fact that the subjects of the carotene study in Finland already had cancer. There is no biochemical rational for beta-carotene to be a carcinogen. In fact, many studies have confirmed that both vitamin C and beta-carotene consumers have lower cancer rates. -- ----------------------------------- Fortitudo Et Macto (Strength And Honor) Motto of the Roman Legions

Moses here: Many of the beta-carotene studies that put it in the beneficial
column maybe mistaken. In that, beta carotene and alpha carotene for that matter
are found in foods high in lutien, lycopene and "kin". These latter carotenoids
are in IMHO that true agents of benefit. These have a hydroxyl functional
group or two on the molecule.
