Bogus study...

I read it in Pubmed. All they did was take like 200,000 men who were taking multis and found some got prostate cancer....is that not common for males these days anyway?


And since when is over 7 days a week of multi use "heavy" multi use.

We'd better find that man and kill him, then!

Reading the article thoroughly, I wouldn't say the study is flawed so much as the conclusion that the media would have us derive from the study.

Headline: "Study links vitamin use, prostate cancer"

Article: "Here's the twist: Overall, the researchers found no link between multivitamin use and early-stage prostate cancer."


edit: a more apt, less sensationalistic headline should have been "Study indicates men diagnosed with prostate cancer should cut multivitamin use"

Masturbate more to balance it out.

You know there is no advantage to taking 2000x your RDA of vitamins, right?

I guess I'm in trouble.

Pretty much. It's not a question of if, but when.

 

[mercanucaribe]

Those vitamins with 2000% RDAs are probably a bad idea anyway...

I remember remember reading that if you don't die of prostate cancer, you will die WITH prostate cancer.

SAD.

Multivitamins are a useless waste of money anyway. If you eat anything close to a healthy diet you get more than enough vitamins.

 

[dennilfloss]

I take my daily multivitamin because my diet is really lacking.

 

[potoba]

that's why chemists never take vitamin pills

just eat your veggies

How many of us eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, much less a complete balanced diet? A multivitamin with 100% (not 10000%) of RDAs certainly doesn't hurt.
