Excellent! I hadn't even looked for it, yet.
Just reading the abstract, it immediately leaps out at me, though, that the sickest people may have been advised to take the higher doses. That is the reverse relationship to the one suggested in the lay-press article; i.e. sickness led to increased vitamin E intake, and sickness was correlated with higher mortality.
