Whether vitamins E and C and other nutrients known as antioxidants benefit hearts is a hot topic. Virtually all experts agree that you can cut your heart disease risk by eating antioxidant-packed fruits and vegetables. New Harvard findings say each extra serving of fruits and vegetables, especially leafy green vegetables, you eat each day reduces your risk of heart disease by 4%. But should you take pills, too? It makes theoretical sense, according to a decade of research, although absolute proof is slow in coming. And recent headlines mistakenly said antioxidants cause harm by blocking cholesterol-reducing statin drugs. What a crock! Do your research people!
