So finds a new study of 3,089 people, ages 43-86, by ophthalmologists at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Researchers aren't sure which specific vitamins to credit, but any supplement with vitamins C and E worked. Vitamin C builds bones. The women with the best bones took at least 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C a day, plus calcium and estrogen replacement. Brains need B12.
Vitamins keep arteries open.
Investigators gave men both vitamins, either vitamin or a placebo, then used ultrasound to measure plaque buildup in neck arteries over three years. Each vitamin alone helped. Danish research over 20 years suggests E helps prevent rheumatoid arthritis. Stir together yogurt, ricotta, sugar. Reserve a dozen each of blueberries and strawberry slices for garnish.
