Higher in Vitamin E
 Vitamin
E is an antioxidant that protects cells against the effects
of free radicals, which are a potentially damaging
by-product of energy metabolism. Free radicals can damage
cells and may contribute to the development of
cardiovascular disease and cancer. Studies are underway to
determine whether vitamin E, through its ability to limit
production of free radicals, might help prevent or delay the
development of those chronic diseases.
Research
points to Vitamin E's ability to help prevent blockages in
coronary arteries that can lead to a heart attack or
atherosclerosis. Vitamin E is believed to help prevent
blood clots that often lead to a heart attack and may help
reduce inflammation linked with coronary artery disease.
Vitamin E
also is also suspected to keep carcinogenic nitrosamines
from forming in a person's stomach from the nitrites
consumed in their diet. This would help protect them from
certain types of cancer.
Studies indicate that Vitamin E alleviates respiratory
problems, eases symptoms of Alzheimer's, and boosts the
immune system's ability to fight off infectious disease. It
may also prevent some of the damage that diabetes does to
the body, particularly the eyes.
