Coronary Heart Disease & Vitamin E Explained By Dr. Berg

Here’s what you need to know about coronary heart disease and vitamin E.

hi guys Dr Berg here in this video we’re going to talk about vitamin E in coronary heart disease okay now there are studies out there that will show that vitamin E causes coronary heart disease and there’s studies that show that it actually will cure coronary heart disease well what they failed to tell you is the unless you read the fine print is that the ones that show that vitamin E causes heart disease are always using a synthetic vitamin E they’re not using a natural vitamini it’s always synthetic so that’s a big factor because apparently synthetics don’t work for heart disease okay doesn’t prevent any heart disease situations might be good for other things but not definitely not the heart so vitamin E in nature always comes in a complex with many different parts this is the vitamin E complex yes it has the tocopherols which are the antioxidant Porsche Parts which is the alpha beta Delta gamma but it also has um another uh Factor called uh xanthine selenium a mineral uh liposol F2 F1 E2 E3 fractions all these different component parts it doesn’t come as one thing so when you take that one version you’re only getting a very p a small portion of the vitamin E complex the the key that I want to talk about the most important thing I want to talk about is this um getting a natural version you want to get the version if you actually buy it from this store something that says toot triols okay toot triols are the natural version that you want to get and if you get the ones that have the Alpha and the beta the gamma and the delta in one complex you’re getting a a better version because these are fat sble these are vitamin E in general is a fat sble vitamin which means it penetrates the cell wall and that’s what it will do it penetrates the plaque in the arteries and it helps dissolve the plaque it also decreases platelets from forming that form the clot in the first place it also will help you prevent the oxidation of cholesterol so vitamin E is very important in preventing the clot formation which also could lead to Strokes all right the other point I want to make about vitamin E is that yes it’s true it comes from grains whole grains but as soon as they grind the Grain and make it into flour it oxidizes from oxygen and it gets destroyed pretty quick so when you buy bre even whole wheat from the store you’re buying bread from flour that can been sitting in the shelfer for 6 months to a year so normally you probably are not going to have time to grind your grain and make the bread even though it’s even high in sugar the whole thing but you if you were to take whole grain and grind it and make your bread you would get some vitamin E but there’s much better uh ways to get your vitamin E so here’s a question how do I get my vitamin E what foods do I eat that’s a really good question I’m glad you asked number one wheat germ but the problem with wheat germ is it’s either roasted or if it’s raw wheat germ it’s rancid because it’s sitting on the shell for a long time so that’s probably not the best idea you can get it from Palm Oil you can get it from nuts or you can get it from this right here lettuce so just so happens that lettuce has a lot of vitamin E and this is another reason why you need to eat large salads right I mean I will I will do a huge salad and uh I’ll probably do half of this in one salad okay in summary the next time you get a vitamin E uh make sure it’s a natural version make sure it’s in the complex and really start eating your salads all right thanks for watching
