Ok, hi. Good forum.
First of all, Vitamin E gets a bad rap, but there is more than one form of vitamin E. There is Vitamin E (d-alpha) which is rarer because it is more expensive, and there is Vitamin E (dl-alpha), which is terribly prevalent, and all negative stuies of vitamin E are based on this kind. The dl-alpha is literally extracted from coal tar. Wonder why it causes problems.
Concerning Glyconutrients... it is true that the body CAN create all of the necessary sugars, but it requires a very complex and complicated process for the body. Certain things liek stress, toxins, poor nutrition can inhibit this process. These are things the body needs... it's more an issue of whether you want your body to work an unnecessary amount or not.
BTW, concerning Vitamin C. Vitamin C evaporates almost instantly when it comes in contact with oxygen. So if you want fruit juice to work, it does need to be fresh squeezed and drank son afterwards, otherwise it is ineffectual. Drinks in the store that say they have vitamin C are bunk. Don't buy it. The best thing you can do it peel an orange and eat it.
Thanks.
