But yr comment on the conclusions, i.e "...while the researchers pooh-pooh antioxidants benefit to exercise, they don’t say there’s any negative effects associated with vitamin E and vitamin C...", does not seem logical. They have clearly implied the negative effects of vita-C/E, they dont have to state it, and the media has logically picked up this implication. Best to stick to the flawed nature of the study, and not challenge the logic of the conclusions, since by implication that accepts the unflawed nature of the study.

Therefore all the research he or she gathers is slanted to prove that theory. Anything that disproves it is ignored. As for the media - you're absolutely right. Bad news makes better headlines.
