who had been given supplements had 85% higher levels of
vitamin C, 28% more vitamin E and 27% more vitamin A, compared
to the group which received the placebo.

They also showed a 24% improvement in one lung test and a 30%
increase in another, compared to the group who did not take
the supplements."

How were the supplements administered John? My understanding
is that supplements can have very poor absorption rates if not
with natural food yet time and again see indications that
supplements will penetrate tissues.

Good to see research being done in this area, there is
increasing evidence of smog being a problem for everyone
living in cities and that we need to take some preventive
measures. Not so much of a problem for me, out here on 20
acres of silence and comfort, but the increasing evidence
is worrying.
