"There is a lot of evidence that vitamins in the diet are a good thing such as eating fresh fruit and vegetables."
The people studied were given relatively high doses of vitamins - 600mg of vitamin E, 250mg of vitamin C and 20mg of beta-carotene.
Rory Collins, Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology at Oxford who led the study which is published in the Lancet, said: "Over five years we saw absolutely no effect.
"Vitamin pills are a waste of time. There was no evidence of any protective effect against heart disease, cancer or any other outcome. They are safe but they are useless."

I personally take some vitamins as well as an iron supplement to increase the levels in my blood. I think they are working to a degree, but people shouldn't rely on them entirely to maintain health and should look to improve their diet and lifestyle.
