Reporting of Systematic Reviews of Micronutrients and Health: A Critical Appraisal

Systematic review is a valuable tool for evaluating nutrition‐related research and formulating nutrition recommendations and it is suggested that systematic review should be considered as a priori before any nutrition recommendations are made.

Measurement and evaluation of antioxidant status and relation to oxidative stress in humans.

Numerous diseases are associated with reduced antioxidant defence and oxidative stress. The antioxidant defence includes dietary and endogenous antioxidants and involves complex interactions betwee…

Vitamin E and Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases: A Review of Epidemiologic and Clinical Trial Studies

To assess the potential benefit of vitamin E intake on the risk of cardiovascular diseases, fifty-nine published reports from observational studies, retrospective and prospective, randomised clinical trials, meta-analyses as well as pooling analyses were reviewed.

Vitamin supplements for the elderly: are they worth it?

Accumulating evidence from randomized, controlled, prospective trials suggests that vitamin and mineral supplementation may not always be innocuous; more disturbingly, even supplementation doses considered to be within a therapeutic range have been shown to produce unwanted outcomes.

Routine Vitamin Supplementation To Prevent Cardiovascular Disease: A Summary of the Evidence for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force

Approximately 60 million persons in the United States have some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and in 1996, CVD accounted for 41.4% of all deaths in the United States (1). While hypertension,…

Dietary antioxidants and the risk of ischemic stroke

Results agree with the view that high dietary intake of antioxidants, in particular vitamin C and—in smokers—vitamin E, reduces the risk of stroke.

The recommended intake of antioxidants should be through a balanced diet and not through supplement use, as observational studies show populations consuming high contents of antioxidant vitamins in their diets have a lower incidence of myocardial infarction and stroke.

Effect of supplemental vitamin E for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease

There is good evidence that vitamin E supplementation does not beneficially or adversely affect cardiovascular outcomes.

Antioxidant Micronutrients and Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Diabetes: A Systematic Review

The role of micronutrient intake in diet and/ or supplementation, chromium and selenium in toenail samples, and α-tocopherol and zinc in serum levels are reviewed to elucidate the role of these nutrients in the cardiovascular risk of patients with diabetes.

Role of antioxidant vitamins in prevention of cardiovascular diseases

The disappointing results for vitamin C and β carotene should lead us to re-evaluate critically the status of the antioxidant hypothesis and to consider confounding as an alternative explanation for the lower cardiovascular risk observed in epidemiological studies.
