Why take Vitamin E?
Vitamin E is our primary defense against the damage done by the accumulation and oxidation of both Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) and excess iron in our tissues, blood, and organs.
This is a result of a lifetime of consumption of industrial junk food! Namely:
Fried foods
Chips, tortillas (even the ones marketed as 'healthy' that are fried in seed oil)
Vegetable/Canola/Sunflower/Grapeseed/Safflower/Soybean oil
Any other nut or seed derived oil
Nut butters
Nuts & seeds
Cereal
Grocery store (shelf-stable) breads and wraps
Omega-3 supplements
Mayonnaise
Margarine
and lots more (read ingredient labels!)
The more of these foods that you have consumed, the more you have pushed your body into a Vitamin E deficiency [1-4].
When we eat foods with high amounts of Omega 3 and Omega 6 PUFA, these oils are highly susceptible to oxidizing in our bodies that are filled with heat and oxygen.
When they oxidize, they form a plastic-like material that clogs up and suffocates our cells! This is called lipofuscin. You can read about that in detail in the Learn section from the "Omega 3's are Toxic" post.
Beyond that, they cause a host of breakdown products that contribute to a domino effect of slowing the metabolism, estrogen increase, cortisol increase, inflammation, fatigue, depression, and so much more.
Vitamin E:
Helps prevent the oxidation of PUFA*
Assists in reversing lipofuscin*
Decreases excess estrogen (inhibits the enzyme aromatase)*
Promotes weight loss*
Improves cell waste detoxification*
Reverses age pigment/liver spots/age spots*
Increases fertility*
Helps cells utilize oxygen*
Mitigate macular degeneration*
Improves insulin resistance*
As Horwitt (1974) says "...it is relatively difficult to incorporate much more than 20 IU of a-tocopherol into some diets using normal foods that are compatible with our cultural patterns. "
