Vitamin supplements don't fight cancer

LA Times: Vitamin supplements don't fight cancer, studies show. Turns out that vitamin interactions are quite a bit more complex than "take more of this vitamin", and that vegetables containing excesses of vitamins also apparently contain other things that allow us to metabolize those vitamins that the supplements don't provide, and that no matter how similar they appear to be, the manufactured vitamins may not be identical to those that occur in plants and animal flesh. Who knew?
