And that's about all, according to yet another study.  The standard disclaimer in the article points out the weekenesses of the study, like the fact that it's observation (as opposed to intervention.)  At the end of the day, though, it turns out that they didn't have any effect on cancer, heart disease, diabetes, weight control, or anything else that people take them for. 

What's unbelievable to me is that they are still lauded in the article as "cheap insurance" for people who don't eat well.  This, after the reporter surmises that "millions of Americans spend billions of dollars" on them each year.  What a joke.  I'll stick with my original plan: eat plenty of cheap vegetables, quality (not necessarily pricey) proteins, and a little bit of exercise every once in a while.  I may not live forever, but I'll do as well as everyone else and not go broke doing it.
