Vitamin E Deficiency is Epidemic in Toddlers

A study of preschool kids, ages 2-5, revealed that 91% were deficient in

vitamin E. Half of them didn't even have 2/3 the RDA (government

recommended daily allowance). This is pathetic when you realize the

RDA is only 11 I.U., while the doses that cut many diseases in half were

400-800. The parents were ignorant of trans fatty acids and the

authors of the study recommended that kids eat more soy, corn, and

cottonseed oils! These are genetically modified and have higher

levels of pesticides and trans fatty acids! This is another example

of why disease will exponentially increase.
