From the Paper:

"For years researchers have studied the benefits of vitamin E on the skin, hair, heart, and over-all health. Now researchers have proven that vitamin E supplements could save millions of health care dollars each year. A study published in the "American Journal of Cardiology" showed significant savings from various supplements, especially vitamin E. In a "double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 2,002 patients' vitamin E reduced non-fatal heart attack risk by 77 percent" (Natural 1998). Researchers found a savings of $578 per patient in patients taking vitamin E supplements compared to those who took placebos. The savings were based on a reduction in hospital admissions for nonfatal heart attacks."
