Not sure what to make of this. For one it says that the previous studies of vegetables may or may not be true. Secondly it does not address quality of life. Thirdly, it may ignore interactions of mind, stress, and other things. For instance, suppose that taking vitamins gives you some sense of power over conditions. This lowers stress, which lowers depression, which lowers heart problems and the like. Is it then the vitamins doing it, or not? This cannot be studied in this test since it only looks at worms.
BBC NEWS | Health | Antioxidants 'cannot slow ageing':
"Using Nematode worms, scientists found even those given enhanced antioxidant powers to deal with tissue damaging 'free radicals' did not live longer.
The team from University College London said, in the Genes and Development journal, there was 'no clear evidence' they could slow ageing."
