Studies are always difficult to interpret. Remember the Calcium D study that seemed to show that supplemental Calcium did not reduce the risk of fracture or increase bone density.
But it was found out after the results were interpreted that many of the control group were taking supplemental Calcium on their own accord, so there was little if any difference between the calcium intake of the control group and the target group.
Same thing might be said about Vitamin C. I am firmly in the camp that thinks mos humans realistically need between 6 and ten grams a day of C, if not more.
So the difference between somebody who only takes say 400 mg and somebody who takes 1500 mg might not be very great.
Also, any studies on E can only be considered totally preliminary. E is as big, if not a bigger family of vitamins than B. 4 or 5 tocopherols, and a bunch of tocotrienols.
It's interesting that one of the first recognized roles of Vitamin E is as a needed nutrient for fetal development, the name itself reflects that. Hence the name tos (Greek: childbirth), phero (Greek: to bring forth) and ol (alcohol).
Very interesting! I hadn't seen or heard anything of this study. I was hospitalized with preeclampsia when expecting my youngest daughter after taking a multi-vitamin given to me by my obstetrician. She was born barely 7 months into the pregnancy and weighed 2lb 10ozs. By some miracle she thrived and other than being a small child until her mid-teens she had no setbacks in anyway and intellectually she's always excelled in everything she's attempted.
Just another medical industry attack on nutrition. There are thousands of studies supporting health claims of supplements.
Unfortunately, the food industry wants to bury such studies to prevent being more mandates to add more nutrients to their processed foods. The pharmiceutical industry wants to bury positive nutrient studies to prevent competition. These articles need to specify who paid for the study.
