Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Vitamin E insufficiency has been concerning me anyway, even before I heard the alzheimer's connection yesterday on the news. According to my Diet Power software, I'm finding it VERY difficult to get adequate Vitamin E from my diet, and although I take supplemental E, I intuitively feel it is inferior to dietary E. I have no problem with your daily serving of Total, Francesca. It's just that most of the nutrition therein is added-in as a supplement...am I right? I'd love to find something like the one-brazil-nut-selenium-solution, but for Vitamin E, where we could easily and dependably get our Vitamin E from a natural source. My nutrition software mentions high calorie sources such as wheat germ oil and sunflower kernels, and lower down the list are the dark greens such as chard. Fish can be rich in Vitamin E, but you'd eat 6 oz of monk fish or salmon (for instance) a day and still come up with less than half of the bare minimum RDA. All of the mega-sources seem very high in calories. Any LOW calorie solutions out there? I do eat whole grains, dark greens such as chard, spinach and kale, and fish, but am still coming up short. I want more bang for my calorie buck! Has anyone figured out a shortcut to natural Vitamin E? Do tell. Suz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
