C & E (was melatonin may lower BP)

[Guest guest]

Chris: don't you think a typical CRONIE diet gives ample amts of C and E?

(E in whole grains, leafy greens, eggs, and I think, nuts)

Not enough. Most of the studies showing protection from dementia by vitamin

E used levels (400-1000 IU) magnitudes above what one can obtain via a good

diet.

I appreciate this info. I'm putting my husband on E. His mother had

Alzheimer's (although she didn't get it til she was 90 yrs old). As for me,

I'm not sure i need it for this purpose as Alzheimers doesn't run in my

family. But of course, if we're all going to live to be over 100 (?),

perhaps I need the extra insurance :-)).
