According to new research from Finland, Vitamin E can have very different effects on modifying the risk of pneumonia in older men, depending on lifestyle choices. Scientists from the University of Helsinki found that taking vitamin E supplements can increase the risk of pneumonia for over a quarter of older men who smoke and do not exercise. However, it can reduce the risk for men who exercise and do not smoke. According to UPI, the authors say their findings dispute the common belief that vitamins have universal effects on consumers. Their research suggests lifestyle choices play a very important role in determining how the body reacts to certain supplements. The study was published in the British Journal of Nutrition.
