Actually, these supplements are worse than just being no more than expensive pee. In this case, it makes the problem even worse!!<\/span>

<\/span>
What Happened<\/b><\/span>
Pregnant women were coached to take high doses of vitamins C and E to lower their risk of developing a pregnancy complication marked by high blood pressure. <\/span>

<\/span>
What They Found<\/b><\/span>
After reviewing nine studies including nearly 20,000 women, researchers found that women taking 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 400 IU of vitamin E – much higher doses than in most prenatal multivitamins – were no less likely <\/b><\/i>to develop the potentially deadly pregnancy complication known as preeclampsia.<\/span>

<\/span>
It’s Even Worse Than That<\/b><\/span>
Instead, they saw that women given extra doses of C and E had a higher risk<\/b><\/i> of certain other pregnancy complications.<\/span>

<\/span>
Last year, a 4-1\/2-year study of nearly 5,000 women found those taking very high doses of vitamins C and E were 10 percent more likely to develop high blood pressure during pregnancy than volunteers taking placebo pills.<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>
The Docs are Confused<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to the lead doctor on this study, “It’s not clear why taking antioxidants doesn’t reduce women’s risk”. <\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe the reason why they are confused is because they assume that vitamins in food are equivalent to vitamins that are abstracted into a <\/span>gelatin caplet. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span>Apparently, it’s not.  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
