Oxymoron for Supplements
The title reads "Antioxidant vitamins are bad for your health". That grabs your attention, no? Amazing sometimes what timing the news around the world can have with occasional discussion among family members. Just the other day there was some discussion about the amount and types of vitamins/pills that one family member is taking and the relationship that has with the way he's been feeling. While we hope taking all those pills is not the reason, we have to wonder. Are all the different supplements really good for you? The author of the article presents the findings of a study published by The Journal of the American Medical Association that reveals the use of antioxidant supplements increases mortality. Advice given - eat five portions of fresh fruit and vegetables a day (Tough for us!), and stay away from the pills. How many pills do you take a day?

Another article about it.
I think there may be people out there who believe that it's like a magic pill that's supposed to prevent something so they go out and do more of what they're not supposed to such as eating food that's not good for them...I don't know what I'm talking about. Just the garrulous one today.
Speaking of vitamins, try an extra dosage of vitamin C the next time you get a severe sinus attack. Let me know if it works, cuz, it seems to work for me. It's a miracle! Almost one month of endless hay fever attacks cleared up right after I took the vitamins.
