Came across this today - It concerns the speeding up of tumour growth (cancer) in those taking vit e or NAC. I am giving credence to it because the European Lung Foundation has featured it and they wouldn't do so if it was 'scare mongering'. The links are to a news article aout it, and for those who want to read the actual science paper I include that too:

Thank you for posting . Very interesting news (havent read science one ) i was just looking into vit e re for my horse which promotes hair regrowth so bit spooky to read this!!

The antioxidents goodness we are all led to believe they are good for us .... this shows we all need to be proactive in seeking advice from our dr before taking any supplement that is of a synthetic nature . Very interseting thanks x judith

Parvati, I have been in and read about this, not the science one though. The thing is you never know who to believe as they all contradict each other. Its something to think about. Cheryl
