"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

"Most people consume less
Vitamin E in meals and snacks than
they need for their daily recommend-

also concerned about limiting fat
intake.
It's simply too difficult to eat your

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
