Re: study shows harm and halted

[Guest guest]

So, I was reading my latest copy of US World News and Report which

came in the mail today and I see in the letters to the editors section

a comment about a clinical trial involving vitamin E and selenium

being stopped because of a statistically significant finding that the

men in this study taking the vitamin E and selenium actually had

increased risks of diabetes (selenium) and prostate cancer (vitamin

E). So, then I read your posting below and had to respond with those

who are interested in reading further.

For the article in US World NEws and Report

n-preventing-cancer.html

For the news release on this huge study being halted and why

http://www.cancer.org/docroot/NWS/content

same as above but also includes interesting comment about need for

well controlled trials in order to collect scientific data resulting

in discovering potential harm in some supplements.

I could not get into the second link. Do we know what form of E was

used?
