Yeah, that is possible, not to mention the fact that smokers – I mean, if you give beta-carotene to non-smokers, it doesn't cause cancer. But smokers are doing so much oxidative damage and they're getting DNA damage that a high dose of something like beta-carotene, which can be an antioxidant, may then allow some of that. It's basically –

It's allowing some of the cells that would otherwise die from the oxidative stress, you know, not to die. Right. And so, yeah, it's a very complicated thing when you're doing things like that. But, you know, I think like it was about 10 years ago, there was a huge study in the Annals of Internal Medicine and it was called Enough is Enough.

Vitamins and mineral supplements not only don't do anything that may be harmful. Yeah. I think that was, do you remember that study? Yeah. It was about 10 years ago.

And, you know, I just dug in and it was a meta-analysis and I went and looked at all those studies and I found that all these flaws, again, come eventually.

Exactly. Yeah. And I put out a video about it like years and years ago. And all these flaws that we just talked about were there. And here we are 10 years later, and the COSMOS trials was just published, right? So this is another meta-analysis of a couple randomized controlled trials where older adults were given a multivitamin.

And here we are 10 years later, and the COSMOS trials was just published, right? So this is another meta-analysis of a couple randomized controlled trials where older adults were given a multivitamin.

They had about 20 or so essential vitamins, essential minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, right? Magnesium. This was all present in this multivitamin and they were given it for two years. What the study found, these are randomized controlled trials, placebo controlled, right? The multivitamin actually did improve brain aging.

So people taking the multivitamin mineral supplement were less likely to experience cognitive dysfunction, memory loss. And in fact, they experienced a improvement in their brain aging that was equivalent to reversing two years of brain aging. Wow. Wow.

Brandomized controlled trial. Here we are 10 years later. Yeah.
