That's Outrageous
NEW VITAMIN E SCARE
Vitamin E supplements may increase heart failure risk, new study..?!?
"In conjunction with its lack of efficacy, the potential for harm suggested by our findings strongly supports the view that vitamin E supplements should not be used in patients with vascular disease or diabetes mellitus," the authors write. "Our study also has wider implications. There is a tendency to accept 'natural products' (e.g., vitamins) as being safe, even if they have not been proven to be effective. However, our findings emphasize the need to thoroughly evaluate all vitamins, other natural products, and complementary medicines in appropriately designed trials before they are widely used for presumed health benefits." (JAMA. 2005;293:1338-1347. Available post-embargo at jama.com)
This totally outrageous recommendation is based on a single finding. "Although this adverse effect of vitamin E was unexpected and cannot be confirmed at this time" most conventional doctors will accept this hook, line and sinker.
Our questions: Were any subjects taking aspirin? Or prescription drugs, including statins? What form of vitamin E? How did they isolate the effect of vitamin E from other confounding factors? Why, as they admit, has this result not be seen in the thousands of other studies? Was the effect strong, or weak? What is the theory? Who benefits from this news? Who really wrote this paper? Was there another pro-vitamin E study published recently? (Hint: Today's headline.)
Do you enjoy having the world-wide 'news' manipulated by pharamaceutical interests?
