Vitamin and Antioxidant reduces heart disease and stroke

A recent study conducted at the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that when multivitamins are combined with antioxidant vitamins, such as Vitamin E, death risk from heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and stroke goes down. The study compared the death rates of persons who used multivitamins in combination with Vitamin E and other antioxidants, as well as those persons who used antioxidant vitamins only versus the death rate of those who used no vitamins at all. What was concluded is that persons who took Vitamin E and other antioxidants along with multivitamins had a 15% lower risk of dying than those who used no vitamins at all.
