Antioxidants Pose No Melanoma Threat

The only time I have seen what would appear to be a reasonable fear of anti-oxidants is for melanoma patients that are on certain Chemo therapies. Some chemo treatments create/use oxidants to carry the drug into the tumor cells. If one takes heavy doses of anti-oxidants while on these chemo therapies, the anti-oxidants can reduce the medicine getting to the tumor to kill them.

This is great news as I seriously doubt that people were going to cut back on their vitamin use. From what I've seen people who take vitamins and supplements really get addicted to the things.
Its especially disheartning when you think your doing something good for your body, and then find out that it has a bad side too. I'm glad GNC has not been contributing to the melanoma problem in our country.
