I agree with the above quotes 4peatssake, thanks for posting.
Also totally agree. That includes the complexity of the effect of Vitamin E that may very well have deleterious effects in some people, depending on context and individuality. E.g. Vitamin E is a blood thinner, so if you have a (non-diagnosed) genetic coagulatory disorder, it may lead to a fatal bleeding event because counter-regulatory systems that are active in your body to compensate for the genetic variation all the time can't do their job. Maybe nausea is one of the ways to tell the person that he is in risk? I just wanted to add this small remark to the discussion, without forcing anybody to do anything.
Putting vitamin E in a purely positive light, while sweeping possible side effects of high dose supplementation under the carpet is not really appreciating the complexity of life.
"what we desperately need is a recognition of the complexity of life"
