UW Doctor Christopher Slatore authored the study. He says supplemental multi-vitamins C, E and foliate do not reduce the risk of lung cancer. He says that there's a general sense that vitamins can't hurt you, but this study suggests they may very well hurt you.
Not only that, the study of more than 77-thousand people found that smokers who take vitamin E have a slightly higher lung cancer risk. The study followed people ages 50 to 76 over the course of four years and looked at their daily average intake of vitamin C, folic acid and vitamin E.
