Vitamin E is important, but recent studies show that too uch could cause health risks that shorten life. No longer is vitamin E supplementation recommended, but discouraged instead. Out of 10,000 people tested, 39 more people died an earlier death than those who weren't taking the vitamin. SO, next time you go to buy vitamin E, don't because you have a 39:10000 greater chance of dying.
