Are You Getting Enough Vitamin E? We hear about vitamin C, vitamin A, the B vitamins, calcium and iron. But whatıs so great about vitamin E? Well, most of us know that itıs good for the skin. After all, check out all those skin care products in your local supermarket ‹ most (if not all) contain some form of vitamin E. What too many people apparently donıt know is that vitamin E also plays an important role in preventing and controlling cancer, cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions. According to a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology, an estimated 27% of the U.S. population doesnıt get enough daily vitamin E. Men have a higher concentration than women, and African Americans have the lowest concentration of any ethnic or racial group. If youıre not getting enough vitamin E in your diet, youıre an inviting target for cancer, heart disease, and a number of other dangerous conditions, including infertility, nerve destruction and anemia. So donıt ignore vitamin E, especially when itıs so easy to find. Plant and seed oils, nuts, whole grains, milk, soybeans and sweet potatoes are all good sources of vitamin E. Ask your chiropractor for more information. . Reference: Ford E, Sowell A.
