Vitamin E’s main function in the body is to work as an antioxidant, scavenging loose electrons—so-called “free radicals”—that can damage cells. (1) Antioxidants, including vitamin E, came to public attention in the 1980s, when scientists began to understand that free radical damage was involved in the early stages of artery-clogging atherosclerosis, and might also contribute to cancer, vision loss, and a host of other chronic conditions. Studies since then have dimmed some of the promise of using high dose vitamin E to prevent chronic diseases.
