title: Antioxidant supplements to prevent mortality.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Are antioxidant supplements associated with higher or lower all-cause mortality?
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Antioxidant supplements are not associated with lower all-cause mortality. Beta carotene, vitamin E, and higher doses of vitamin A may be associated with higher all-cause mortality.
