People should be cautious about taking vitamin E supplements regularly because doing so can increase the risk of a certain type of stroke, scientist said yesterday.
Researchers from the United States, France and Germany reviewed existing studies and found that taking vitamin E increased the risk of haemorrhagic stroke, where bleeding occurs in the brain, by 22 per cent.
However, the study also showed that vitamin E intake cuts the risk of ischaemic stroke, which has less severe outcomes, by 10 per cent.
