"People also don't realize that
increasing their daily intake may not'
lead to a big jump of Vitamin E in
their blood levels," says Mrs. Tam. '
"The body absorbs Vitamin E best
when fat is eaten at the same time,
although it takes very little fat to do
the job. On the other hand, any
Vitamin E not immediately used
by the body is stored in fat tissue
where it's supply may be tapped to
bring Vitamin E blood levels to nor

"Most people consume less
Vitamin E in meals and snacks than
they need for their daily recommend-
ed dietary allowance [RDA]," explains
Elizabeth Tam, a Farmington Hills
dietitian. Because Vitamin E is often

such as oils
and oil-rich nuts and seeds, con-

Vitamin E is a problem when one is
also concerned about limiting fat
intake.
It's simply too difficult to eat your
way to a heart-healthy dose of vita-
min E without going overboard on
fat. If someone wanted to get their
Vitamin E from vegetables, they'd
have to eat about five pounds of broc-
coli alone to just equal the RDA. To
