Is artificial vit E as good and safe as the natural one found in foods, in

If you take Omega-3 then you should take Vit E to compensate for Omega-3
oxidizing quickly. The study that pointed to possible negative effects
was with people who ALREADY had heart trouble.

Isn't vitamin E usually included in fish oil pills?

I *hate* vitamin E. Every single time I take something with lots of it,
all the skin in my body starts to flake off. Vitamin E supplements,
flax, some fish oil capsules I had, etc. Seems like it is snowing. I
get itch and I have a hell of a time vacuuming the skin afterwards. So
far the cod liver oil capsules I am taking are not making my skin flake
too much though.

No one can convince me vitamin E is good for my health. If it makes my
skin lousy, it is either toxic or induces something toxic.

I have had cravings for vitamin b12, b6, folate, vitamin a, d,
colesterol, magnesium and potassium. I notice all of these improve my
body condition. b12, b16, folate make my skin rosy and increase my
stamina. vitamin a makes my skin more regular and firm, vitamin d
boosts my spirits and decreases joint pain, colesterol boosts my
spirits, magnesium decreases muscular pain and boosts memory, potassium
decreases some palpitations I ocasionally have.

IMHO everyone should have folate and vitamin a, d supplementations if
required, probably magnesium as well. But vitamin e, in my experience,
is totally useless and possibly dangerous.
