A study by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) was recently halted when it failed to show a reduction in prostate cancer with Vitamin E and Selenium supplementation. Well, while it is true they halted their study, what the NCI didn't announce to the press was that they used a synthetic form of vitamin E and probably not enough selenium to make a difference! Synthetic antioxidants have already been shown to either not be useful in preventing cancer or perhaps even harmful, as in an earlier study that showed a higher risk of lung cancer with synthetic beta carotene use.
The synthetic version of vitamin E has a "dl-" in the name, as in dl-alpha tocpopherol acetate that they used in this study, so make sure and stay away from that. Natural Vitamin E, on the other hand, has been shown in many studies to boost immune function and that of course helps protect you from cancer. Selenium has also been shown in many studies to help your immune system and also your detoxification system, helping your body get rid of chemicals that can cause cancer.
This study really only proves once again that anyone with ties to the pharmaceutical industry can easily come up with a study that proves that vitamins and minerals are ineffective against all sorts of diseases, when the facts show quite the opposite to be the case. Always check out studies thoroughly before believing what you read
E-Complete by QN Labs contains all 8 of the tocopherols and tocotrienols that should be part of any vitamin E supplement.
Fluoride in Your Water A Toxic Poison or Helpful to Your Teeth?
Are you one of approximately 2/3 of Americans who have fluoride added to their water? Many people still either think that having fluoride added to your water is either a good thing because it helps prevent cavities or at least is not a bad thing, because, after all, the government would ever add a poison to our water supplies, would they?
Well, the fluoride that is added to our water supplies (silocofluorides) is actually a poison that is 85 times more toxic than natural fluoride. Although it is added to our water supplies under the pretext of being good for us, the facts show that the fluoride used is a toxic waste by-product of several industries, and if it were not being added to our water supplies, these companies would have to pay a lot of money to get rid of their toxic wastes properly. In addition, there seems to be as many cavities in communities with fluoridation as those without it, perhaps even more. It has been shown to be more toxic than lead and can damage developing brains, reduce IQs, and cause all sorts of healthy problems.
