It is estimated that over 37 million Americans take vitamin E, but most never quiz, its safety. After all, it's good for the heart, right? As there is conflicting study on this issue, answering this quiz, may prove challenging.
First of all, study done by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, presents quite a dissimilar perspective of Vitamin E. In a narrative presented to the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions, they allege that taking megadoses of it, increases your risk of dying from all natural causes.
Vitamine
According to lead author and internist Edgar R. Miller Iii, M.D., Ph.D., join together professor of treatment at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine: "A lot of citizen take vitamins because they believe it will benefit their health in the long term and prolong life." He went on to say that, use of high-doses of this vitamin did not prolong life, but... ...was related with a higher risk of death.
Furthermore, he added: "If citizen are taking a multivitamin, they should make sure it contains no more than a low dose of vitamin E."
These Johns Hopkins researchers allege that an increased risk of death starts, when dosages start at 150 Ius and higher. In fact, 19 studies on this vitamin occurred in the middle of 1993 and 2004, spellbinding over 136,000 people. This study confirmed that when taken at doses of 400 Ius, the probability of death from any cause, is about 10 percent higher than in those not taking it. But when taken at very high dosages, such as 2000 Ius, that risk increased to over 20 percent.
And yet, in two former studies, we get a totally dissimilar perspective. In these cases, the study tells us this vitamin provides safety from death, caused by coronary artery disease(Cad).
In the first study, the Nurses' health Study, researchers ended that of the 83,234 women participating, those taking vitamin E, were at a 40 percent lower risk of developing heart disease, than those who didn't take it. In the second clinical trial, the health Professionals Follow-up study, over 39,000 males were evaluated, and researchers found a necessary relationship, in the middle of high vitamin E consumption, and a low risk of developing heart disease. To put it other way, they view there was an inverse correlation between oxidation of Ldl cholesterol, and heart disease.
Plus, there are numerous other studies, declaring this antioxidant's effectiveness against a myriad of diseases. For example, it has been shown to be productive against strokes, cataracts, and diabetes. It also boosts immune ideas response, and prevents blood clots from forming. Indeed, as you recover from your research-induced haze, you may be asking yourself one basic question: "Is it safe for me to take?" Basically, at doses lower than 150 Ius, the reply to that quiz, is yes.
In my opinion, Mark Twain got it right when he said, "Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable." Oh, if only Mr. Twain were here to help us make sense of these 'pliable' statistics.
Vitamin E May Prove Deadly
