TRYING TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND ABOUT VITAMIN E IN LIGHT OF
LAST WEEK'S 'SCARE' STORIES?
READ WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
PKL: "My friend, an NIND, said 2 years ago that as the date for the
USA to comply with codex alimentarius rules approached
(Aug.2005) we would see scare stories coming out in the media
about the 'dangers' of common vitamins and supplements. He was
right."
Michael: "I am quite suspicious of this article and others very
recently which are slamming antioxidant supplements. This is due
to the fact that the Codex meetings taking place right now in
Germany (with influence from big pharma) may want to severely
regulate supplements. Before you throw away your vitamin E,
check to see if it is natural and is accompanied by mixed
tocopherols. At this point I would not worry about 400 IUs of
vitamin E per day."
Howard: "No distinction was made between the natural and the
synthetic forms avail. What are we supposed to do about foods that
contain natural forms of vit E? Avoid them? This is just one more
lame attempt by big pharma to eliminate competition by using the
main stream media (who are the benefactors of their multi-billion
dollar TV/Radio/Newspaper ad campaigns) to scare the bejebbers
out of the man/woman on the street and to drive him/her to their
local doc."
In several e-Alerts, HSI Panelist Allan Spreen, M.D., has noted the
important difference between natural vitamin E and the synthetic
form (dl-alpha tocopherol). He believes the synthetic should never
be taken internally, and yet it's easy to find inferior brands (or in
Roz' words "grocery store" varieties) that contain only synthetic E.
Here's Dr. Spreen's comment from an e-mail he sent this week:
"If nothing else, this study (assuming it showed anything at all!)
may only be suggesting that synthetic vitamin E should not be
taken. Most studies done by standard allopathic medicine only use
dl-alpha tocopherol (which is a bad deal), but this study doesn't
even tell us what any of their 'selected' studies used. My bet is they
couldn't care less, and may not even know the difference among
the different types."
