That + dose (around 200 IU for a preemie) is equivalent to an adult dose of about + 7,000 IU for an average-weight adult. "There have been no + detrimental side effects," said the <i>New England Journal of Medicine</i>, + Dec. 3, 1981. Nevertheless, the nutrition textbook advised that + "healthy persons stand the chance of developing signs of toxicity with + the megadoses that are recommended in these studies."

It is best to inquire about all + of these conditions when taking or submitting a patient history. For + additional information, it is most worthwhile to contact the Shute Institute, + <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">London</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">Ontario</st1:State>, + <st1:country-region w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region></st1:place> or + read any books by Wilfrid or Evan Shute, <span class=GramE>M.D..</span> If + their books are hard to find, try Interlibrary Loan (ILL) at any public + library.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Why supplement with + vitamin E? Our need for vitamin E increases with increased age, exposure + to toxins (smoking, air pollution, <span class=GramE>chemical</span> + oxidants), pregnancy and lactation. Even an increased consumption of + polyunsaturated fats requires more vitamin E to protect the unsaturated fatty + acids from free radical attack. For most healthy adults, an optimum daily + amount of vitamin E would probably be about 600 IU. It must certainly be + higher than the US RDA of only about 10 or 15 IU.</span><span + style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> It is true that + many foods contain vitamin E, such as milk products, eggs, meats, fish, + whole-grain cereals and whole-grain breads, wheat germ, and leafy + vegetables. However, the vitamin is present in these foods only in + very small quantities. Americans do not get enough vitamin E in their + diet, and it is impossible to get even 100 IU per day from even the finest of + diets. This is at least partly due to the widespread milling of flour + since the start of the twentieth century. Coincidentally, heart + disease has also been on the steep increase since 1900. Very likely + there is a connection here. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> <i>The New England + Journal of Medicine</i> published two papers in the May 20, 1993 issue (Vol. 328, + pp 1444-1456) which both supported vitamin E megadoses, reporting an + approximate 40% reduction in cardiovascular disease. Nearly 40,000 men + and 87,000 women took part in the study. The more vitamin E they took, + and the longer they took it, the less cardiovascular disease they + experienced.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> And the Shute + brothers, those quacks, pointed it out first... sixty years ago. They + said: "We didn't make vitamin E this versatile. God did. Ignore it + at your peril." </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> And ignore it we + have.
