| #3 Actually, Vitamin E, and other ati-oxidants, do ahve valuable biochemical functions. They are important in reducing free-radical formation, and other "aging" and cancer-related chemical reactions that go on in the body when we age - or when we don't take care of ourselves. But they are about as worthless as spit if you don't change your diet and eat right, and (this is the big one) exercise intensely and regularly, and get regular medical checkups (to limit the genetic factors), and keep yourself emotionally healthy (some studies show nothing keeps one alive nearly as well as a solid, loving marriage). Vitamin E, Vitamin C, some of the various flax and other oils are important as fat-soluable carriers of stuff that the body needs. |

| #1 "...hailed as a potential cancer therapy..." So is sitting in a mine breathing radon. "Hailed as a potential" is reporter-speak. It means "placebo". "...and a mixture of carbon and oxygen gas by a mask..." Sounds messy and unpleasant. |
