Vitamin E deficiency could leave people more vulnerable to damage caused by free radicals as a result of environmental and food chemical exposure.
Other symptoms of prolonged vitamin E deficiency include:
*Impaired vision and speech
*Loss of muscle coordination and reflexes
*Neuromuscular dysfunction of the spinal cord and retina
