Vitamin E Reports Lack Substance

Drug Monopoly Fears Health Improvements with Vitamin E. Twisted statistics on vitamin E are being used to scare the public.

(PRWEB) November 17, 2004 -- Despite the attacks the American Heart Association has made on vitamin E in the last few days, tocotrienol (a type of vitamin E) is still proven to protect against cardiovascular inflammation, brain cell deterioration and high cholesterol.

The AHA has argued that vitamin E can increase the risk of mortality in those who take it. Performing a slanted statistical evaluation in studies with seriously ill patients, researchers sought to fabricate fear in takers of vitamin E. This biased interpretation of data, completely ignoring the majority of vitamin E studies in the analysis, as well as established studies on the safety and value of vitamin E, was highly irresponsible.

There is overwhelming evidence to support the safe and effective use of vitamin E," said Byron Richards, board-certified Clinical Nutritionist. In a study published in April 2004, researchers determined through 81 randomized trials that there is no increased risk of mortality simply from taking vitamin E.

The secret to the effectiveness of vitamin E is choosing the right vitamin E. It is important to choose high-quality products that will give maximum results. Wellness Resources offers vitamin E which includes both types of tocotrienol-alpha (the part that helps regulate inflammation in the cardiovascular system and protects against brain cell deterioration) and gamma (the part that lowers cholesterol). Many vitamin E products are high in gamma tocotrienol but are low in alpha.    

Tocotrienols have demonstrated a unique ability to prevent plaque formation on the arteries as well as to remove plaque. This result does not occur with regular vitamin E-only tocotrienol. Tocotrienols are a good choice for the prevention of aging-related problems, such as mental decline or nerve-related issues, according to Richards.

The AHA is looking to scare consumers away from vitamin E-by eliminating vitamins and supplements from the market, drug companies benefit while consumers have their options eliminated. By remaining aware of the AHAs motives, by educating themselves about nutrition and by looking beyond the smoke and mirrors" of drug companies, consumers can be aware of their options and can make informed decisions about their health. Wellness Resources is here as a resource to the consumer-we offer products and information that can help you make these informed decisions.
