Vitamin don't fight cancer, studies show

i'd like to see more on how the tests were conducted....
clipped from www.latimes.com

  • Vitamins don't cut heart attack and breast cancer risks, studies say



  • Cold sufferers mindlessly reach for vitamin C




1990s -- wonder pills that appeared to fight cancer, heart disease, stroke and other ailments.
National Institutes of Health gave them the same treatment as top-notch pharmaceutical drugs, investing hundreds of millions of dollars in elaborate clinical trials
fresh evidence that vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium supplements don't reduce the risk of prostate, colorectal, lung, bladder or pancreatic cancer
offer no help in fighting other cancers, stroke or cardiovascular disease.
