Dr. Donsbach is upset that Vitamin E is the "bad boy" of the month.

 

"I recently read about the SELECT study to prove that vitamin E could prevent prostate and lung cancer," he writes.  "The study was aborted because the researchers found no evidence that it was preventing either cancer."

 

 If you Google "vitamin e cancer", you'll find page after page after page of different versions of the same study.

 

 All of the headlines scream that not only is it now proven that vitamin E does not prevent cancer but that there is evidence that it causes cancer!

 

"That the same article (only one) was able to totally take over all research on vitamin E and cancer is solid proof that this is a dedicated effort to cast doubt on one of the most researched vitamins on the market.

 

"On page 7 of the search engine I found a well written report authored by the prestigious M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas,  published in October, 2008 (yes, more recent than the negative article - and only cited once not hundreds of times).

 

"It concluded: Increasing intakes of vitamin E may decrease the risk of lung cancer by over 50 per cent. An exact opposite conclusion of the Select study.

 

Another article posted on page 8 read: "Higher vitamin E doses may produce better results for heart."  It went on to criticize other studies that were negative for using too small dosages and not using the correct form of vitamin E.

 

"Seriously, I caution you to take these blatantly negative conclusions with a grain of salt - no make that a tablespoonful!

 

"Notice that the researchers said the link showing cancer was not statistically significant and should not be the basis for condemning vitamin E - -  exactly what has happened.

 

"I can only conclude that this is part of the ongoing campaign against food supplements and should be given the same validity as a politician's campaign claims.
