Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Joana, I saw the website. Last fall when that was written, through this spring there was alot of controversy over Vitamin E. Now, I will share my experience. I did not stop taking Vitamin E in 1000 IU a day. My, my, shame on me. But, I have taken it for 8 - 9 years now and have not experienced any ill effects, if anything all positive effects and the benefit to red blood cells and to skeletal muscle of E still stands. I also checked in with my Internist, as I do every 6 months, and he asked what I wanted to do. I said I felt the Vitamin E news was 'hype' and I wanted to continue taking it. He agreed that it seems to benefit me and that I should continue it. So, some advice: by all means, regarding everything, do your own research, ask your doctor, get a 2nd medical opinion, make your own decisions and realize alot on the internet is junk or also scare tactics too. It is your life, you have a right to all information and to make up your own mind, after diligent background work. I cannot tell you what to do. One more thing, if you begin to take Vitamin C, taking Vitamin E with it will help the absorption of the C. Be safe. Be aware. Be your own best advocate. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
