	STUDY SHOWS HIGH-DOSE VITAMIN E SUPPLEMENTS MAY INCREASE RISK OF DYING
		Researchers at Johns Hopkins report that use of high-dose vitamin E supplements, in excess of 400 IU (international units), is associated with a higher overall risk of dying.
		In the current study, the Johns Hopkins team re-analyzed raw data from 19 major clinical trials, sorting information by whether high- or low-dose levels of vitamin E were taken.
		Vitamin E is one of 13 vitamins essential to body metabolism, cell growth and function.

	Questions about validity of HOPE TOO vitamin E study (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Other leading medical professionals who have long recommended vitamin E for its health benefits agree that the study has its flaws, and are not ready to abandon their confidence in the supplement.
		Study participants received a daily dose of natural source vitamin E (400 IU) or matching placebo over a median of 7.0 years.
		Total vitamin E blood levels may appear to be normal but the person is still at risk because of the small, dense lipoprotein particles -- another factor that appears not to have been addressed by the study in question.

	Emerson Ecologics - Study Flaws Cast Doubt on Claims of Vitamin E Danger
		The patients in the various studies were randomly assigned to take vitamin E (in amounts ranging from 16.5 to 2,000 IU per day) or a placebo for at least one year.
		In another high-dose vitamin E study (Cambridge Heart Antioxidant Study), the results were complicated by the fact that the vitamin E and placebo groups were not comparable.
		Although approximately 70% of the vitamin E in food is in the form of gamma-tocopherol, most of the nutritional supplements on the market contain only alpha-tocopherol, and all 19 studies included in the new report used alpha-tocopherol by itself.

	ACS :: Study: Vitamin E No Help Against Cancer
		The study isn't the first to find no overall cancer or heart benefits from vitamin E, but some experts say it may be the last word on the subject.
		No other study of vitamin E has looked at heart failure; the researchers suggest reviews of previous research be done to look for similar links.
		Nevertheless, they said, patients shouldn't ignore other, proven methods of preventing disease in favor of vitamin E. ACS News Center stories are provided as a source of cancer-related news and are not intended to be used as press releases.

	CNN - Study: Vitamin E reduces prostate cancer risk, deaths - March 17, 1998
		Both vitamin E and beta carotene, the form of vitamin A used, are antioxidants -- compounds which may prevent cancer-causing agents from damaging cells.
		The Finnish study involved 29,133 male smokers between age 50 and 69 who were selected to take part in a lung cancer study evaluating the effects of beta carotene and vitamin E on smokers.
		Although the finding about vitamin E is encouraging, it is premature to recommend that everyone start taking vitamin E supplements, Albanes said, adding that there needs to be another long-term study involving nonsmokers and people of different races and ethic backgrounds.

	The Future of Nuclear Power
		An interdisciplinary MIT faculty group decided to study the future of nuclear power because of a belief that this technology is an important option for the United States and the world to meet future energy needs without emitting carbon dioxide and other atmospheric pollutants.
		This study, addressed to government, industry, and academic leaders, discusses the interrelated technical, economic, environmental, and political challenges facing a significant increase in global nuclear power utilization over the next half century and what might be done to overcome those challenges.
		The authors of the study emphasized that nuclear power is not the only non-carbon option and stated that they believe it should be pursued as a long term option along with other options such as the use of renewable energy sources, increased efficiency, and carbon sequestration..

	Vitamin E Study Misleads Consumers
		The study, published electronically on the journal's Website, re-analyses data from 19 clinical trials involving Vitamin E published between 1993 and 2004 and was undertaken by researchers at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions.
		Scaremongering headlines, based largely on misinterpretations of the study, which have begun to appear today, do nothing to help the development of responsible self-care patterns in consumers which are urgently required in the face of escalating heart disease and cancer rates.
		However, the study has a number of very important limitations which mean that sweeping generalizations such as those made by Dr. Miller should not be made.

		The study, published in Wednesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association, is just the latest to cast doubt on the safety and effectiveness of vitamin E supplements and other antioxidants.
		Lonn said it is unclear how vitamin E pills might be linked with heart failure, but she theorized that high doses might disturb the balance of beneficial, naturally occurring antioxidants.
		Annette Dickinson, president of the Council for Responsible Nutrition, a trade group for vitamin supplement makers, said the study is “not the final word on vitamin E.” She noted that a large National Cancer Institute study is examining whether vitamin E pills protect against prostate cancer.

		The basis for the negative attack on vitamin E was an analysis of 19 final studies evaluating the effects of various doses of alpha tocopherol on population groups.
		When they could not attribute enough deaths to vitamin E in 17 of these 36 studies, they further reduced the number of studies to be included in their analysis to only 19.
		Yet the authors fail entirely to acknowledge the benefits of vitamin E that were reported in the very same studies that they included in their own meta-analysis: Reduction in the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, heart and blood vessel disease, age-related macular degeneration and several forms of cancer.

	Recent Vitamin E Study Flawed
		The researchers drew conclusions about vitamin E use and mortality by combining results from 19 different studies of people that were already at grave risk with existing diseases, including cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and kidney failure.
		It has been recognized in scientific literature that vitamin E does not substantially decrease mortality from heart disease in patients with known coronary artery disease, or for those who are at high risk for the disease.
		Vitamin E may still safely be considered an effective tool in the primary prevention of disease, especially when taken as a preventative over longer periods of time.

		Therefore, vitamin E should reduce levels of substances that are produced from reactions with free radicals.
		One explanation for the lack of demonstrated effect on the markers measured in the JAMA study is that the participants were healthy and probably had sufficient levels of antioxidants to prevent oxidative stress.
		It still might be advisable to take vitamin E supplements as a safety precaution to prevent conditions of increased oxidative stress from developing." Oxidative stress is typically increased among smokers, diabetics, alcoholics, and those who suffer from heart disease and inflammatory disorders.

	ACSM \| New Vitamin E Study Assesses Contraction-Induced Muscle Damage
		The present study sought to determine the effect of vitamin E on muscle damage or soreness resulting from contractions, or resistance exercise.
		The researchers' statistical and chemical analyses indicated that supplementation with vitamin E in humans does not reduce inflammatory cell infiltration, nor does it help muscle function, which is significantly compromised by an exercise protocol like the one designed for the study.
		In addition, although free radicals play a role in the events after the initial contraction-induced damage, the exact mechanism of how vitamin E mediates this effect remains to be discovered; the researchers therefore recommend further study with a large sample size to adequately address the effect of vitamin E on muscle damage.

	John Hopkins Falsifies Vitamin E study
		Although the John Hopkins study has not been publicly released, we assume that the studies included in the meta-analysis are very likely to have involved only one particular formof Vitamin E, namely alpha-tocopherol, which is often produced synthetically.
		A meta-analysis of 19 human studies with vitamin E was published recently in the November 2004 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
		In light of this controversial vitamin E meta-analysis publication and the so many response by experts to it in the media, perhaps, one should look at vitamin E supplementation from a different perspective - that vitamin E should be taken as a wholesome mixture of d-mixed tocopherols and d-mixed tocotrienols.

	ACS :: Major Study Debunks Aspirin, Vitamin E for Cancer Prevention
		One of the largest and most thorough studies to date finds that regular use of low-dose aspirin and vitamin E won't help prevent cancer -- at least not in women.
		Many previous studies on aspirin and vitamin E have involved fewer people, and many of them only followed participants for a few years -- perhaps not long enough to be able to find any effect from either compound.
		Indeed, in a separate study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Thun, Jacobs, and other ACS colleagues report that aspirin may protect men from prostate cancer.

	CRN Urges Caution in Weighing Results of New Vitamin E Study - Health - RedOrbit
		The CRN president said she agreed with the study's authors that more research is needed, but noted there are a number of clinical trials now underway, including one involving more than 34,000 men that is evaluating whether vitamin E and selenium can reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
		"Those studies are continuing because the investigators and the sponsors are confident in the safety of vitamin E and also believe there is a strong likelihood of benefit," Dr. Dickinson said.
		CRN agrees with the Institute of Medicine's finding that vitamin E supplements are safe within a wide range, up to 1,000 mg (1,000 IU of synthetic vitamin E, or 1,500 IU natural vitamin E) per day for normal, healthy adults.
