Does Vitamin E Prevents the Heart Diseases?

hello to all medical doctors out there. Im 17, a freshman student from the philippines. I’ll be having my thesis paper, and so i would like to ask help from u.

Im currently conducting surveys about my thesis and i needed facts to prove if vitamin e does prevent heart diseases or not. I look forward in hearing true and valid information from u. Pls help me:)

I already have the facts and articles but it seemed not to give accurate answers if it can prevent heart diseases or not. I hope to hear from u. any related facts or information would be highly appreciated. thank u very much. God bless u all.

Short answer. Maybe it does, but it hasn’t been adequately proven.

Do I recommend it to my cardiac patients and my high-risk patients (diabetics, high cholesterol, hypertension, smokers)? You bet I do. What do I tell them? That it probably won’t hurt, and it might help.

Hmmm… Are you pals with jhyll06? You posted essentially the identical question within a short while of one and other. Look here for my answer to him/her.

This is a duplicate topic, and should probably be posted in GQ anyway. Please post any comments re heart disease and Vitamin E in the GQ thread. I am locking this thread.
