Multivitamins don’t lower heart risk
The intake of daily multivitamins does not lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in men, says a new finding. “The findings from our large clinical trial do not support the use of a common daily multivitamin supplement for the sole purpose of preventing cardiovascular disease in men,” said Howard D Sesso, associate epidemiologist in Preventive Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH). “The decision to take a daily multivitamin should be made in consultation with one’s doctor and consideration given to an individual’s nutritional status and other potential effects of multivitamins,” said Sesso.J Michael Gaziano, chief of the Division of Aging at BWH and senior study author, said, “Studies like this are key to providing us with valuable information about what specific benefits multivitamins do or do not provide in terms of their long-term impact on chronic diseases.” IANS
