Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Carol, Thanks for the fact sheet link. Very informative. I was taking Jarrow E which includes the whole " family " of E but just now noticed it has soybean oil in it. Darn! It's a great brand and excellent quality but now I need to stop taking them and look for a brand that doesn't have any illegal substances in it. If you have any recommendations of a good vitamin E let me know. Thanks! > > Here is everything you ever wanted to know about Vit.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Marilyn, Thank you very much for pointing that out to me. I was really hating to give this one up but was willing to do it for the sake of getting well. I'm glad you told me before I went out and spent more money on some other E vitamins.
