Use of multi-vitamins showed increased death by prostate cancer in men

Heavy multivitamin users were almost twice as likely to get fatal prostate cancer as men who never took the pills, concludes the study in Wednesday's Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

The researchers speculate that perhaps high-dose vitamins had little effect until a tumor appeared, and then could spur its growth.

Your body is a complex system. Everything is connected to everything else.

You may notice that if you put a gallon of drain cleaner down your drain, it will cause your drain to become unclogged. So if you put 100 gallons of drain cleaner down the drain every day, will it

A) cause your drain to never become clogged again?

B) double your drain's normal capacity?

C) eat through your pipes and contaminate your ground water if not your entire house?

You may notice that if you eat a good amount of vitamin A, that you retain the ability to see at night longer than your peers who don't. So, do you then megadose vitamin A?
