"-- Jean Carper, author of "Miracle Cures, Stop Aging Now!, Food Your Miracle Medicine, " and "The Food Pharmacy" "It is too early to conclude that vitamin E has all the beneficial effects attributed to it, but even if only 25% of current expectations were to be fulfilled, vitamin E would become an important weapon against a range of chronic diseases. The book is not simply scientific and education but also a please to read."-- Dimitrios Trichopoulos, MD, Vincent L.

He has a unique gift of being able to takevery complex scientific information and express it in ways that can be very understanding to the general reader who is interested in the current information around nutrition and antioxidants.

Additionally, all this makes Andreas M. Papas' book a kind ofencyclopedia for people with an interest in the vitamin E research.-- Dr. Juergen Reimann, Chairman, Hermes Institute for Health Research, Munich, Germany""The Vitamin E Factor" has a very valuable scientific content presented with the lightness of a fairy-tale.

I recommend the book to my colleagues, to all my students and also to my family."-- Angelo Azzi, Ph.D., Professor and Director, Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Bern""The Vitamin E Factor" is wonderful because it teaches people at all levels.
