Vitamin E in vegetable oil causes pneumonia, asthma

High levels of vitamin E in vegetable oils such as canola oil, soybean oil and corn oil cause pneumonia, asthma and respiratory diseases, according to research from Northwestern University in the US.

Vitamin E is known as an antioxidant, protecting the body from harmful agents, maintaining the immune system. However, you will be shocked to know the potential harmful effects of vitamin E in oils including canola, soybean and corn.

Why does vitamin E in canola oil, soybean oil and corn oil increase the risk of pneumonia and asthma?

Research has shown that, in the 4 forms of Tocopherol of vitamin E: alpha, gamma, beta and delta, vitamin E in canola oil, corn oil, and soybeans exists in the form of gamma-Tocopherol. The higher the gamma-Tocopherol content in the blood, the more it reduces the function and activity of the lungs as well as the respiratory system in general. Professor of medicine Cook-Mills, who studies allergy and immunology at Northwestern University, said that a high ratio of gamma-Tocopherol in plasma will reduce lung function by 10-17%. In the past few years, in the US, there have been more than 4.5 million cases of asthma and decreased lung function due to diets containing a lot of gamma-Tocopherol vitamin E.

How to properly supplement vitamin E for the body?

Nutritionists also say that the vitamin E content in olive oil, wheat germ, almonds, green vegetables and sunflower oil is very good for health, helping to improve lung function. The reason is because in these foods vitamin E exists in the form of alpha-Tocopherol, and according to research, people with higher levels of alpha-Tocopherol in their blood have a lower risk of asthma and respiratory diseases.

Vitamin E is extremely necessary for human health, however, if not supplemented properly, vitamin E itself is the culprit causing many serious health problems. Therefore, you need to have a basic understanding of the truly healthy sources of vitamin E.
