CRN campaigns to show vitamin E not harmful
30/11/2004 - The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) yesterday launched a national campaign to reassure the public of the safety and benefits of vitamin E.
The CRN’s action was initiated by the publication of a meta-analysis on the supplement earlier in the month that concluded that high doses of vitamin E could do more harm than good.
The campaign began officially yesterday with a full-page advertisement in editions of the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and USA Today. The adverts featured quotes from several health researchers refuting the negative claims of the recent meta-analysis and noting the presumed benefits of vitamin E.
The adverts also focused on the fact that the Institute of Medicine reviewed 340 peer-reviewed scientific studies and references on vitamin E, including most of the studies covered in the meta-analysis, and concluded that vitamin E is safe at levels as high as 1000 mg per day (1500 IU for natural vitamin E, or 1000 IU of synthetic vitamin E).
In addition, the CRN has launched a website that attempts to answer any possible questions that members of the supplement industry or the public, could have about the vitamin.
"The CRN is taking these actions because vitamin E consumers have been confused and unnecessarily frightened by sensationalist headlines generated by scientists from a respected university who have presented the findings of one meta-analysis in an irresponsible manner. Vitamin E is both safe and good for you," said Annette Dickinson president of the CRN.Read More...
