Multivitamins study

I've taken a multi-vitamin everyday since my heart surgery ten years ago at the direction of my cardiologist.  Specifically Centrum Silver which has a low percentage of vitamin K, which counteracts my Coumadin.

There are also a lot of studies of individual nutrients that show correlation with various disease reduction.  Perhaps with a multi, and eating reasonably well, you're getting too much of a few things, which is just as bad as getting not enough.

For instance- Selenium.  did you get your 70mcg today?  How would you know?  Low levels of Selenium ARE correlated with increased cancer rates... but then again, so are HIGH levels.  So, did you eat a handful of brazil nuts?  then don't take your multi. 

Personally- I'd like to read the actual study results, because in my experience, the news reports often state the exact opposite of what the study really indicated.

Take vitamin D. 
Take a good fish oil
maybe a multi- I'd say that the jury's still out.  I think that a lot of the original benefit of them has gone away as so much of our food supply has been fortified.  Our grains and cereals are loaded with B's and Folic Acid, our milk with D, A, Calcium, even our OJ has D and Calcium.  Overall- these are probably good trends.
