16. Pearl 2 Seek products that most closely mimic the forms that nutrients naturally take in food, such as vitamin E in the form of mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols or vitamin A in the form of mixed carotenoids (vs. β-carotene alone or vitamin A palmitate) Dosage, duration and quality matter 16Georgia Tetlow, MD - Philadelphia Integrative Medicine – www.philly-im.com - 888-702-7974 The Impact of Vitamins and Supplements

"A vegetable-fruit-soy dietary pattern protects against breast cancer among postmenopausal Singapore Chinese women."
