Would you make a video about PCOS and supplements, that help? I’m interested in woman’s health.
So doc, take vitamin E or no?
you watched the video and still have to ask?
Mmmmmm, sugar pills!
👍 Whole food plant based for the environment and health; vegan for the victims!
*Ask your city government to sign the Plant Based Treaty!* 🖖
How about saying things more clearly dearest doctor Greger: Yes or no taking this supplement?
It’s a clear hard No from Dr. Gregor.😂
So, I read in the select trial that they were taking 400 IU of synthetic vitamin E daily which around 1200% of the rda. This seems to just mean people shouldn’t supplement excess vitamin e. That being said, I would be interested to know if it’s alright because I don’t supplement it, but I do often have IQ bars — which I really like — and they have 100% of the rda. I haven’t see any evidence there’s anything associated with taking 100% of the rda — though I’d be interested to know if anyone knows more about that.
First and foremost it means: Do not supplement synthetic vitamins at all.
I get my Vitamin E from good olive oil … kornekiki olive oil alllll the way
Best whole plant food sources for vitamin E so we can help load it in without some questionable supplement? Thanks Doc and crew! 🥦💖🥰🎉
Sunflower seeds are the absolute highest source, but they also have cadmium. Almonds are next up. I tend to eat sunflower seeds because they are cheap and the absolute highest source for vitamin E. So, i don’t need to consume large amounts of them.
Apparently, US sourced seeds are highest in cadmium, mine come from Europe.
Nuts in general
Sunflower seeds, problem solved
Vegetable oils are a great source of vitamin e 😉 so are nuts, seeds, greens like spinach and broccoli, just eat your whole plant foods for crying out loud!
Woohoo! Sugar pills for the win!
