Woman’s World magazine includes Red Palm Fruit Oil in article on lowering breast cancer risk

Robin Miller

Everyone knows someone who has been affected by breast cancer. The deadly disease claims the lives of too many of our mothers, sisters and daughters each year. The good news is incidences of breast cancer have been dropping over the past decade, but we can’t stop there. News that products made with healthy palm oil may play a role in thwarting the spread of breast cancer cells is getting widespread attention.

A Double Blind Placebo Controlled Study On The Neuroprotective And Anti-Atherogenic Effects Of Palm Tocotrienol Rich Fraction (Palm Vitamin E)

Yuen Kah Hay, Phd

Ongoing

Objective: The purpose of the study is to assess the neuroprotective, anti atherogenic and hepatoprotective properties of tocotrienols (palm vitamin E) supplementation as determined by white matter lesion load on serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), carotid artery magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and liver ultrasound (US) as well as lipid profile analysis.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design:  Phase 2, Randomized, Double –Blind

Subjects: Patients with cerebrovascular disorders

Intervention: Tocotrienol, placebo

Primary Outcome: Regression of white matter lesion load in terms of numbers and size in the brain [ Time Frame: 1 to 2 years ]

Secondary Outcome: 1) Regression of the carotid artery stenoses in terms of percentage [ Time Frame: 1 to 2 years ]

2) The improvement in the lipid profile other markers associated with increased cardiovascular risk [ Time Frame: 1 to 2 years ]

3) Improvement in liver echogenicity. [ Time Frame: 1 to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Tocotrienol E Boosts HDL Cholesterol While Lowering Advanced Glycation End Products

Byron J. Richards

The tocotrienol form of vitamin E is now on an anti-aging tear. Recently I reported how this form of vitamin E was shown to extend the length of telomeres, enabling cells to live longer. A new human study shows that it boosts protective HDL Cholesterol while lowering a key marker of aging – advanced glycation end products. A new animal experiment shows that tocotrienols significantly reduce the damage from experimentally induced stroke. These new studies add even more evidence of the extreme health benefits offered by this special form of vitamin E, as I extensively reviewed in my previous article, Tocotrienols:  Twenty Years of Dazzling Cardiovascular and Cancer Research.
