Historically, vitamin E is known as an antioxidant that can fight disease, free radicals and helps normal human reproduction. But you should not carelessly take supplements of vitamin E because it can increase the risk of stroke.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School, Boston, and INSERM in Paris found that vitamin E supplements may increase the risk of some types of stroke.
Haemorrhagic stroke (bleeding strokes) is the most rare type of stroke and occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the brain ruptures, causing brain damage. Researchers found that vitamin E increases the risk of stroke by 22 percent.
But the study also found that vitamin E could actually reduce the risk of ischemic stroke, the most common type of stroke, by 10 percent.
"However, supplements of vitamin E is only slightly reduce the risk of ischemic stroke and the results are generally even larger increases the risk of haemorrhagic stroke. So we suggest to be cautious and not arbitrarily take vitamin E,"explained Dr. Peter Coleman, deputy research director of The Stroke Association, reported by BBC News, Saturday (11/06/2010).
Dr. Coleman also said that further research is still needed to find the mechanism of action as well as the safe limit of vitamin E.

Write commentsI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
Replyliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
