I was appalled at the coverage on TV which paid almost no attention to the fact that the trial was on 3 supplements specifically dealing with their effects on reducing prostate cancer risk. They basically said it was shocking to know that there was no point in taking vitamin c, vitamin e and selenium, and in fact it was disappointing to know that "taking supplements is not as beneficial as we thought it was" [cue shocked sheepish looks of news presenters].
