honeybee,
Isn't the Healthnatura Palm Oil Vitamin E marketed for its tocotrienol content(which I believe is high)? I thought I read somewhere on the forum that tocotrienols were to be avoided according to RP and the tocopherols is what we want.
I have not tried the HealthNatura product yet, but yes, Ray has cautioned against tocotrienol use since they are unsaturated (unlike tocopherols) and have been shown to cause liver enlargement in animals. Here is the Ray quote:
http://raypeat.com/articles/articles/vitamin-e.shtml
"...Besides antagonizing some of the end effects of the toxic fatty acids, vitamin E inhibits lipolysis, lowering the concentration of free fatty acids (the opposite of estrogen’s effect), and it also binds to, and inactivates, free fatty acids. The long saturated carbon chain is very important for its full functioning, and this saturated chain might allow it to serve as a substitute for the omega -9 fats, from which the Mead acid is formed. The unsaturated tocotrienols have hardly been tested for the spectrum of true vitamin E activity, and animal studies have suggested that it may be toxic, since it caused liver enlargement."
