The Women's Health Study is the largest and longest randomized trial of vitamin E to date on healthy people. It addition to reducing the risk of heart disease, the study concluded vitamin E is safe and did not increase the risk of death in healthy women, refuting recent findings in the Miller meta- analysis (Miller, ER, Ann. Intern. Med. 2005), which suggested the contrary.

"The good news coming out of the Women's Health Study is that healthy women receive heart health benefits from taking vitamin E, and older women may reap even greater benefit. In women 65 and older, who never took estrogen and were on E, the study found an even greater reduction in the cardiovascular death rate. Had all these women not taken estrogen, one might surmise that the reduction in cardiovascular events among elderly women would have been even larger," commented Dr. Ishwarlal Jialal, M.D., Ph.D., Robert E. Stowell Endowed Chair in Experimental Pathology, Director of the Laboratory for Atherosclerosis and Metabolic Research and Professor of Internal Medicine and Pathology at UC Davis School of Medicine.
