If you want to hear the other side of the story, check out Life Extension's website. They have a section called "consumer alerts" which has two lengthy articles on this subject. Bottom line...the study is very flawed and from my point of view, irresponsible reporting.
Here's a link to one of LEF's rebuttals. (keep in mind when reading this, they are selling supplements. But they seem to be more balanced in their approach)

I think we all know that it takes more than one vitamin to maintain or improve health and as long as they focus on "single" nutrients in a study, they will always be able to discredit the use of it.
