"I recommend vitamin E
to my patients, and I will continue to do so."

"Vitamin E is needed to
sustain life and advance health. Many well-designed trials have
proven that vitamin E reduces risk for heart disease, cancer,
Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and even the common cold. The recent
Johns Hopkins article was not a clinical trial. A group of researchers
sat down and analyzed results from 19 prior studies on vitamin
E and drew their own conclusions."

"This study inappropriately
created confusion and fear based on data where there was not scientific
concensus. Consumers shouldn't be frightened off from vitamin
E in recommended doses by this one study. Many people do not get
enough vitamin E in their diet and for those individuals it's
absolutely critical that they get vitamin E through a supplement."
Susan Finn, RD
Former President, American Dietetic Association
"The press was over-the-top on the
reporting of the results from this one limited study versus the
vast and well-established clinical science that exists on the
safety and benefits of vitamin E."
Kevin Maki, PhD
President, Provident Clinical Research
"It was a backward-looking analysis
that combined numerous trials with different types of patients,
including many who already had chronic ailments such as heart
disease."

"
they also selected not to employ
a vast number of studies that show no harm from vitamin E and
a great deal of benefit."
