Any particular brand of Vit E, you can recomend

[leezaai]

Alpha tocopherol they say is cancerous to the body. Is this true? Please let us know? I want to take vit e..

[aoksys]

You should have recommended that we only take the natural d-alpha version of Vitamin E, not the synthetic dL- alpha version. There is a huge difference. Suggesting that we can get it from vegetable oil is freaking nuts, as the Omega 6 content is inflammatory.

[Really]

I saw several other videos and interviews indicating that Alpha tocopherol reportedly also causes several different cancers and other serious health problems.
