Storm in a teacup - NZ Herald article

A day or so ago NZ Herald printed an article that had the title "Major research finds link between multi-vitamin pills and breast cancer." I ignored it because it smacked of sensationalism. Well it turns out I was right....
MacDoctor has posted a rebuttal of the news article explaining why the study shows nothing of the sort.

The Dyslexic Disclaimer

I am an recovered dyslexic, and have found Ron Davis work very helpful. However proof reading will never be my strong point. Any paid work goes through a number of proofing stages, including put aside, reading later and most importantly passing by Tiffany my wonderful wife who is excellent at proofing.

I have attempted to overcome this dyslexia in the blog, but writing the blog as a draft and the next day proofing it before posting. However not all errors will be picked up. Trust that you will have the grace to overlook any minor errors.
