And the study focused more on synthetic Vitamin E rather than its natural counterpart.
The current study's authors acknowledged that because most of the people involved in the trial were aged 60 and older and had conditions such as heart disease,the findings might not apply to young healthy adults.
Vitamin E,like vitamins A,D and K,is fat soluble. These are thought to be more risky in higher doses because,unlike very large doses of water soluble vitamins which can simply be washed out in the urine,these stay in the body and can be toxic.So in peoples quest to rid their bodies of free radicals they're actually poisoning themselves with exessive doses.
