There's more worrisome news about vitamins: Taking too many may increase men's risk of dying from prostate cancer.
The study, being published Wednesday, doesn't settle the issue. But it is the biggest yet to suggest high-dose multivitaminsmay harm the prostate, and the latest chapter in the confusing quest to tell whether taking various vitaminsreally helps a variety of conditions - or is a waste of money, or worse.
Government scientists turned to a study tracking the diet and health of almost 300,000 men. About a third reported taking adaily multivitamin, and 5 percent were heavy users, swallowing the pills more than seven times a week.
Within five years of the study's start, 10,241 men had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Some 1,476 had advancedcancer; 179 died.
Heavy multivitamin users were almost twice as likely to get fatal prostate cancer as men who never took the pills, concludesthe study in Wednesday's Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Here's the twist: Overall, the researchers found no link between multivitamin use and early-stage prostate cancer.
The researchers speculate that perhaps high-dose vitamins had little effect until a tumor appeared, and then could spur itsgrowth.
While similar but smaller studies have suggested a link, too, more rigorous research is needed, caution the National CancerInstitute scientists. This newest study involves men who voluntarily took vitamins, and those most at risk - perhapsbecause they had a family history of the disease - may have been more likely to take the pills in hopes of avoidingtheir fate.
Still, "the findings lend further credence to the possibility of harm associated with increased use of supplements," Dr.Christian Gluud of Copenhagen University Hospital and Dr. Goran Bjelakovic of Serbia's University of Nis wrote in an accompanyingeditorial.
Viewpoint - I'm not sure what to make of this. Hopefully more research is done to come up with some solid evidence.

With a scaly, slithery creature in his grip, a hissssterical half-naked snake handler let loose in front of Paris Hilton yesterday -- and then demanded $20 million in return!
The jail-bound blonde mounted her bicycle and peddled along the Venice Beach boardwalk in a workout session with her "Ionly buy my T-shirts in the kids section" trainer -- when the wacky locals gave chase. Hilton quickly rode off, with thesnapparazzi following every step of the way. On returning to her car, the heiress found a full-blown circus, including asnake charmer who took center stage atop a dumpster, wriggling his snakes for Paris -- then asking her for $20 million! He's stillwaiting.
With Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around" bumping from her ride (Paris seems to know that karma's a bitch), she thenhightailed it to a nearby arts and crafts store, where one passerby offered some words of wisdom about jail: "Just go inthere and be yourself!"
Fatigued from all the bizarre attention, Paris stopped for a Pinkberry -- and went home.

For people based in the US, who enjoy playing games such as Poker, Blackjack or Slots, or indeed any type of 'gambling'activity then the last few months would have been disappointing and confusing. Since the Unlawful InternetGambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) was brought into law it has left US players unsure of the legality of online gambling activities.
Luckily two blogs have been launched recently to help US based players trawl through the various issues relating to the ban,and to find out how they can still legally gamble online, in the US.
The two blogs are at (POKER) and .(CASINOS).
The two blogs explain how it is still legal to play, how to deposit money on each site, and a full list of casinos and poker sitesstill accepting US players.
The reason that US players can still play, even though it was at first thought legal is because the UIGEA only prohibits USbased financial institutions from conducting transactions with gambling sites. It says NOTHING at all about people playingon the sites. Therefore if you can fund an account at a room that still accepts US players, then you can legally play atthat room.
Since the law was passed, it has become slightly harder to fund your account, but both blogs give clear and conciseinstructions on how you can do this, with only a minimum of effort, and if you follow the instructions, you should beplaying poker, or using casinos quickly.
There have been recent developments within Congress with Barney Frank trying to repeal the law. The owner of the blogs,Dave Chance, thinks that if more Americans were to continue openly playing it would only help this change.
He commented on the reason for setting up the blogs, "If there were still millions of US based players using poker sites, andcasinos, then it would send out a clear message to our lawmakers that we, as adults, want to continue spending ourmoney, that we earned, playing games that we enjoy. Each player that continues playing just shows Congress that we willnot stop fighting this law."
The websites also show details of other steps you can take in the fight to stop the ban. People who want more details of howplayers can continue playing poker or using casinos online should check out the following sites.
