Papas. But it isn’t enough to pop a multivitamin pill. You need to understand what form of the nutrient is best for you, and how much. Vitamin E is really eight different compounds. Synthetic supplements contain only one (alpha-tocopherol), while the whole “family” is important and can be found only in some natural supplements. The Vitamin E Factor decodes all this and shows you how to develop a personalized strategy for getting the most from this nutrient. This book contains everything you could want to know about this “master antioxidant” and “super nutrient” and a few items you didn’t know you wanted to know–its discovery, the origin of the name alpha-tocopherol, anecdotes from its history, and elephant research, for example. If you’re a chemistry buff, special sections explain and illustrate the science of vitamin E. If you just want the basics, some of the book will be more technical than you want, but each chapter has helpful “straight talk” and/or “recommendations” that summarize the major points clearly. — Joan PriceReview… a very readable, comprehensive and practical book on vitamin E that does not compromise on scientific facts. Anyone interested in understanding the practical health benefits of vitamin E (and antioxidants in general) should read this book. — Bill Stone, Ph.D., Professor of Pediatric Research, East Tennessee State University… an excellent job. The book is easy to read and entertaining and supported by extensive literature. It will be useful not only for the general public but also for anyone interested in the role of vitamin E in health and nutrition. — Nesrin Kartal Ozer, Ph.D., Professor of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Marmara University, Istanbul, TURKEY… excellent reference book for all scientific questions in connection with vitamin E and which an interested lay person might be eager to know more about.Thanks to the bibliography detailed in every chapter, it is quite easy for the interested reader to become more engaged in the in-depth scientific aspects of the vitamin E factor. Additionally, all this makes Andreas M. Papas’ book a kind of encyclopedia for people with an interest in the vitamin E research. — Dr. Juergen Reimann, Chairman, HERMES Institute for Health Research, Munich, GERMANYDr. Papas has a unique gift of being able to take very complex scientific information and express it in ways that can be very understanding to the general reader…The Vitamin E Factor is a book that should be on the bookshelves of all individuals who are “nutrition savvy” and interested in using the best of the latest scientific information to improve their health and that of their loved ones.I strongly recommend The Vitamin E Factor as a trusted resource in implementing a health protection program using antioxidant nutrition as a part of the program. — Jeffrey S. Bland, Ph.D., CEO, HealthComm International, Inc.Dr. Papas is more qualified than any one else to write about The Vitamin E Factor having been personally involved in many of the recent studies. Physicians, nutritionists, dietitians, the informed public and persons in marketing will find the book most informative. — Artemis P. Simopoulos, M.D., President, The Center for Genetics, Nutrition and HealthDr. Papas’ superior presentation of tocotrienols to the nation will have a major impact on the therapeutic use of nutrition into the 21st century.

Ray, M.T. (ASCP) and Donald J. Carrow, M.D.I can only most heartily recommend finding the time to read The Vitamin E Factor and digest the multitude of useful suggestions that it contains. Practicing physicians who have to deal with nutritional problems related to diseases they treat, such as diabetes and atherosclerosis, should find this book particularly useful as a quick reference source. — Marvin L. Bierenbaum, M.D., Director, Kenneth L. Jordan Heart Foundation and Research CenterThe Vitamin E Factor has a very valuable scientific content presented with the lightness of a fairy-tale. It covers, in a comprehensive way, the most modern areas of research on vitamin E, from the basic science to applied nutrition. However it is never confusing, since its graphic presentation allows the readers to choose and capture what is interesting to them.I recommend the book to my colleagues, to all my students and also to my family. — Angelo Azzi, Ph.D., Professor and Director, Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Bern, SWITZERLANDThe book is well-written, comprehensive, and gives enough details for a non-medical person to understand the wonders of this natural antioxidant. My father, a noted cardiologist, believes that he would not be alive today without four agents – one of them being vitamin E. Dr. Papas’ effort to bring this information on the effects of vitamin E to the general public needs to be extoled. — Jason Mehta is the high school student featured in the INTRODUCTION of this book
