Boy was that an education, and to think I thought I almost knew it all!!!
In summary, Vitamin E is derived from grain, sometimes wheat. If a
product has added Vitamin E, check with the manufacturer as to the
source. Straight Vitamin E should state whether it is gf or not (gf is
most likely soy based). Nature Made (1-800-276-2878. They also have a
website at www.naturemade.com), GNC, and Freeda were mentioned as having
gf Vitamin E. I also had an interesting response regarding the science
of Vitamin E:
Actually, I think it tends to come from soy more often than wheat germ.
dl-Alpha tocopherols is synthetic, d-Alpha tocopherols is natural and just a
tad better for you. And it's the alpha tocopherols you want most of rather
than "mixed tocopherols."
Thanks to everyone that responded. Jenn in Illinois.
