Vitamin E Propaganda: More of the Same Old Thing "The official medical propaganda
against the use of Vitamin E in heart disease discouraged me, along
with most other doctors, from using it specifically in that condition.
But the evidence of its favorable influence in cardiovascular and
other diseases, not only from the Dr. Shute brothers in Canada, but
from around the world, is now so extensive, and theoretical basis
so sound, that a much more extensive clinical use of Vitamin E should
now be made in both prevention and treatment." THINK POSITIVE: For 50 years, vitamin E research has been dominated by pharmaceutical interests. Big Pharma's synthetic vitamin E was passed as the "industry standard" in 1941 (by which the I.U. is based), and by 1949 the U.S. Pharmacopoeia declared that all research should be done using the "industry standard" pharma-created vitamin E, thus, true research was circumvented. The recent increase in vitamin E propaganda is a reaction to the "coming of age" in vitamin E research that is currently taking place. Finally, Big Pharma is losing her grip. Researchers are asking for the natural vitamin E complex. |
