I found this article interesting... I want to share this with you. Here it is:
The worst-case example of a toxic supplement is Vitamin E. Most Vitamin E is the byproduct of the film-development and film-process industry. Because the chemical waste (tocopheral) is similar in molecular structure to natural Vitamin E (d-alpha topcopheral), it is called Vitamin E and sold as a supplement. In fortunes for the hazardous disposal of their toxic waste. In other words, profiteers make money by seducing us into purchasing and ingesting toxic waste. Vice versa, foods rendered into waste products after vitamins and other nutrients are chemically extracted, are then made into foods, such as chips and cereals, or animal fodder. That subject alone is worth a shelf of books. Even natural Vitamin E has to be either heat-processed or solvent-extracted. Heat-processing destroys Vitamin E and solvent-extraction causes destruction and low-grade poisoning.
