E is a fat-soluble vitamin - and as such excess amounts accumulates instead of being flushed like is true for the water soluble vitamins (B and C).
A, D, and E are all toxic at high doses - I thought that was long-established.

All depends on how high. Nutritionists are now recommending 1,000 iu of vitamin D, vitamin K for osteoporosis and vitamin e to prevent high cholesterol and heart disease.

in college I used the acronym F--ADEK (it's goofy but I still remember it). Fat -- A, D, E, K. I think "K" was one of those mythical vitamins...hmmm, why didn't I just use FADE? It would have had a better ring to it...ah well...
