In a trial involving 29,000 Finnish subjects in which researchers tested whether vitamin E could reduce lung cancer in smokers, those taking the supplements did not enjoy a lower rate of lung cancer but did develop 34% fewer cases of prostate cancer compared to controls.

"It only takes five people to push against one to break a rib, collapse a lung or smash a child's head," says Still.

The death rates for these diseases have dropped, according to recent data. Meanwhile, mortality for liver, esophageal and pancreatic cancers have risen in many populations - and it is probably no coincidence that regular, reliable tests for those conditions don't exist...
