Title: VitE supplement and smoking
Post by: CLKD on April 09, 2021, 05:25:11 PM

Apparently: DH read a report this week : that those people who are regular smokers who also took VitE regularly, died sooner than expected.  Of course I can't remember what he was reading but will ask later.

So do take care with Vitamins.  If one has a good diet with plenty of fats, fruits, veg., as well as a regular exercise regime, the body should not require extras ........ it will take from a good diet what it requires and pee out the excess.

Perhaps it's the smoking that causes premature death?  ;)

Something to do with VitE causing excessive bleeding ..........  I will need to read the article several times to get my head around it.
