Vitamin E is a well described and established fat-soluble essential
micronutrient and as such has to be provided to the human body on a
regular basis in order to avoid deficiency and maintain a healthy
status. This is well established and also reviewed in a number of
publications. However, a huge body of evidence has accumulated over
the last decade, or so, which provides new insights on the mode of
action of vitamin E, and the biological role of the tocopherol
isomers, and sheds new light on the role of vitamin E in human
health. Both fundamental knowledge gain and new data on the role
and challenges of vitamin E as an essential micronutrient,
including emerging evidence on clinical benefits, will be addressed
to put this essential micronutrient in the appropriate perspective.
Given this level of new evidence which has emerged over the recent
years, a book on vitamin E will put into perspective the concerns
which have been raised on vitamin E and which resulted in a
misinformation and confusion of the public regarding the importance
of vitamin E for human health. This book will reemphasize that
Vitamin E is clearly required for human health and its inadequacy
leads to increased risk of a variety of diseases. In addition new
data of non-communicable diseases (NCD) dependent on vitamin E
status show that a lifetime of low intake increases risks of
development, severity and complications of NCDs. This text will put
the vitamin E case into an up-to-date, science based, applicable
real-life perspective and offer pragmatic solutions for its safe
and personalized use beyond the various methodological and
statistical controversies. The purpose of this book is also to
raise awareness not only in the nutrition and medical community,
but also in the public media that there are a number of health
conditions where an increased intake of vitamin E can be of
potential importance. Further this review should also stimulate
funding organizations and agencies to increase their support for
vitamin E research in order to facilitate the further exploration
of the safe and efficacious use of this essential micronutrient.
