>>Lygo will be able to put this better...
Pretty much spot-on WdB, but the biggest chuckle must be directed to high doses of Vitamin E supplements (you know, one of those 'wonderful superfood-derived cancer preventing antioxidants') increasing the risk of smokers getting lung cancer.
Lots of theoretical level reports out there suggesting how these antioxidant chemicals neutralise free-radicals and other DNA/tissue damaging chemicals flowing round our bodies but studies don't support the use of high dose to prevent illness.
My thought is that large doses of single potent antioxidants probably neutralise the less powerful ones that our bodies use already, removing the benefit of taking extra.
