Is it time to revisit the free radical theory of aging? Yes. Does this study have any significance for human aging? I don't know. What's clear is that antioxidants are not a panacea. See the linked metastudy—the warning is already in the summary. https://t

@andy_husband1 You mean on Google, or the proper scientific research published in peer reviewed journals? The first will only confirm your biases, and the second may educate you. https://t.co/xCOzgvOx2c
@VersozaAngelo what the category "antioxidant" might mislead people on is that >400 IU/day of vitamin E is associated with higher mortality in people with chronic illnesses https://t.co/ctgSrRieM3 https://t.co/P4VC2PRJKm

@Medicinmanden "It’s safe, it’s cheap, it might well help, and it can’t hurt." Der er talrige eksempler på behandlinger man troede var effektive gjorde mere skade end gavn. Og indtag af vitaminer er ikke uden problemer https://t.co/5HOSIuQtvM

@NazNazzy12 Vitamin supplements have been shown to be worthless unless you are deficient. https://t.co/dNmfQd2vfb
@BNH_Official Systematic review of RCT evidence suggests antioxidant vitamins increase all-cause mortality. In trials with low risk of bias: Vitamin E: 12.0% dead (11,689/97,523) v 10.3% dead in control groups (7561 /73,721); 46 RCTs, RR 1.03 (95%CI 1.
And posts like these just remind me why I wanted to cry again Brb difficult conversations to be made
Also reminding everyone living with a chronic disease/health condition that vitamin E dosed at least 400 mg/day **might** slightly increase your risk of death Idk why, but from the data alone it's just not worth whatever hyped claims there are https://t.

Disappointing and concerning that @parkrunUK feels it is ok to promote multivitamins. I loved being part of @Victoriaparkrun; it was about sharing a love of running and supporting a free community activity, not providing an audience for 'health' products.
