In the US, pills containing Vitamin E are among the most popular - Americans spent over $700 million on Vitamin E last year.

There appears to be an increased risk of dying among people who took 400IU or more of vitamin E a day. I don't take any vitamins, minerals or supplements, but still found this article of interest ...

Here's the article.

Good article. I do take vitamins, but I am very careful not to take a supplement that I know I get enough of in my diet. A vitamin regimen should be specific to each person's daily dietary intake. I imagine there are other supplements that would be a problem at too high of a dose also. The good news here is that there is research into this field now.
