Date:4/15/2008

arge, randomized controlled trials to assess mortality. Most of the trials that showed no deaths were not proper preventative trials, he said.

Blumberg raised concerns about the use of all-cause mortality as a yardstick for antioxidants influence on health and life. All-cause mortality includes deaths resulting from everything from cancer to a train wreck.

Blumberg said: There is no basis in biology to presume that one or more of these nutrients can kill through any and all possible mechanisms of action.
