  1. Vitamin E has adverse effects on recurrence of cancer and survival
    in cancer patients.

    So one refined form, of the eight forms of vitamin e, by itself, can
    cause problems.

    The eight forms of vitamin E work synergistically together. So take
    only a vitamin e supplement that contains a complex of the eight forms
    or better yet get your vitamin e from real food. Vitamins E from real
    food causes absolutely none of the artificially produced negative
    effects as seen in this study. And they are, btw, vitamins, which means
    they are needed in the diet for us to live.

    The idea of "scientists" telling us that vitamins (which by definition
    are needed for life) are dangerous is patently absurd.

    I'd like to see this kind of study done on every prescription drug and
    see what they come up with.

    Unfortunately, there's little evidence of this. The study was a surprise.
    Science is like that.

    "Scientists" tell us that Vitamin A is hepatoxic in large doses. (An
    overdose of Vitamin A can easily be had by eating Polar Bear liver.) Too
    much Niacin (A B Vitamin) can cause neuropathy. The "scientists" did a
    study, a very well controlled one) that concluded that Vitamin E does not
    have the benefits widely claimed *by scientists*. If you have a problem
    with the study, show it. Your complaints about "scientists" are silly.

    As absurd as the notion that too much oxygen (which is needed for life) can
    be dangerous. Or the notion that too much sodium can be dangerous. Or
    that potassium could be used as part of a lethal injection. Or that too
    many calories could have deleterious effects (of course, I know you believe
    this last one about as much as you believe that HIV causes AIDS).

    The classification of molecules as "virtuous" or "vicious" can only come
    about through the application of religious, rather than scientific,
    reasoning.

    Can you cite any reliable evidence for that,
    or are you just blowing smoke?

    I cited a study published in a refereed medical
    journal published by the National Cancer Institute.
    The study was double-blinded and placebo-controlled
    with 540 participants. That's pretty reliable information!
    I don't think you can top it, but feel free to try.

    No, that page does not address this study.
    That web site is supported by the dietary
    supplements industry, and they do not present
    any information which would suggest that
    any supplements are unsafe or harmful.

    Many benefits of vitamin E found in previous studies are due to natural
    /gamma/ -tocopherol found in foods. Besides that, the health benefits of nut
    consumption are attributed partly to the tocotrienols they contain.

    Depends on the volume. Mercury can be quite safe at 1 part per zillion.

    Many benefits of vitamin E found in previous studies are due
    to natural /gamma/ -tocopherol found in foods.

    On what do you base that? Can you cite any studies?
    Do you sell gamma-tocopherol?

    Obviously, it would be unethical to give tocotrienols
    to cancer patients, because tocotrienols stimulate the
    mechanism responsible for resistance to cancer
    chemotherapy drugs.

    I'm not an expert, but it's not clear to me if the form
    of alpha was synthetic or natural. It just says alpha.
    Unless somebody can tell me which was used, I think the
    study is lacking. Previous studies indicate there's a
    difference in how the body uses the two forms.

    I have read a few abstracts and studies, here is one:

    "In this prospective study, higher concentrations of plasma gamma-tocopherol
    were associated with a statistically significant lower risk of developing
    prostate cancer."

    http://jncicancerspectrum.oupjournals.org/cgi/content/full/jnci;92/24/2018

    No, I am not involved in the sales of supplements.

    That is another thing.

    How awful! You don't suppose that's why there's a Recommended

    And as for Dihydrogen Monoxide <sucks teeth> - you can't trust
    that stuff an inch. It should be banned before there are more
    deaths resulting from its misuse. Did you know that it's
    being included in just about everything these days? It's like
    all these E numbers. We never had E numbers when I were a
    lad, and now they're everywhere. Dangerous, I call it. Why,
    when we were growing up.........[no carrier]
