Is  Natural vitamin E D-Alpha Tocpoherol water soluble?
358281
Yes,\n\nAlpha-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate, abbreviated as TPGS, is a water-soluble derivative of d-alpha-tocopheryl succinate. TPGS is used as a water-soluble delivery form of vitamin E for those with fat malabsorption syndromes, such as chronic childhood cholestasis. It is also used as an absorption and bioavailability enhancer for certain water-insoluble drugs (e.g. the HIV protease inhibitor amprenavir) and fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin D.\n\nSee the link below for more details.

Bile is a mixture of water, salts, and phospholipids, thus not really a pure solvent.  Typically, an organic solvent is a liquid made of an organic molecule-whereas bile is a solution of salt, etc in water.  Fat or oils would be organic solvents, since they are liquids, which can dissolve substances (can be polar or non-polar), and are made of organic molecules.  Bile is not a liquid which is an organic molecule, but primarily water, and water is not an organic solvent.  Soapy water can dissolve oils, etc, but is NOT an organic solvent, and bile is chemically exactly like soapy water.\nBile does not break down starches-it solubilizes lipids.

BHA & BHT (butylated hydroxy anisole & butylated hydroxy tolulene) are perfectly safe. They are anti-oxidants that help preserve food longer & prevent the lipids in food from oxidizing into harmful free-radicals. They're present in foods in such small quantities that your body can't really even recognize them

There are a number of stories in The Coconut Diet from people who have actually seen their cholesterol -- LDL and triglycerides -- go down and HDL (the good cholesterol) go up with The Coconut Diet.\n\nThe cholesterol-lowering fiasco for a long time centered on the ability of unsaturated oils to slightly lower serum cholesterol. For years, the mechanism of that action wasn't known, which should have suggested caution. Now, it seems that the effect is just one more toxic action, in which the liver defensively retains its cholesterol, rather than releasing it into the blood. \n\nLarge scale human studies have provided overwhelming evidence that whenever drugs, including the unsaturated oils, were used to lower serum cholesterol, mortality increased, from a variety of causes including accidents, but mainly from cancer. \n\nSince the l930s, it has been clearly established that suppression of the thyroid raises serum cholesterol (while increasing mortality from infections, cancer, and heart disease), while restoring the thyroid hormone brings cholesterol down to normal. \n\nIn this situation, however, thyroid isn't suppressing the synthesis of cholesterol, but rather is promoting its use to form hormones and bile salts. When the thyroid is functioning properly, the amount of cholesterol in the blood entering the ovary governs the amount of progesterone being produced by the ovary, and the same situation exists in all steroid-forming tissues, such as the adrenal glands and the brain. \n\nProgesterone and its precursor, pregnenolone, have a generalized protective function: antioxidant, anti-seizure, antitoxin, anti-spasm, anti-clot, anticancer, pro-memory, pro-myelination, pro-attention, etc. Any interference with the formation of cholesterol will interfere with all of these exceedingly important protective functions.\n\nAs far as the evidence goes, it suggests that coconut oil, added regularly to a balanced diet, lowers cholesterol to normal by promoting its conversion into pregnenolone. \n\nCoconut-eating cultures in the tropics have consistently lower cholesterol than people in the U.S. Everyone that I know who uses coconut oil regularly happens to have cholesterol levels of about 160, while eating mainly cholesterol rich foods (eggs, milk, cheese, meat, shellfish). I encourage people to eat sweet fruits, rather than starches, if they want to increase their production of cholesterol, since fructose has that effect.\n\nMany people see coconut oil in its hard, white state, and -- as a result of their training watching television or going to medical school -- associate it with the cholesterol-rich plaques in blood vessels. Those lesions in blood vessels are caused mostly by lipid oxidation of unsaturated fats, and relate to stress, because adrenaline liberates fats from storage, and the lining of blood vessels is exposed to high concentrations of the blood-borne material. \n\nIn the body, incidentally, the oil can't exist as a solid, since it liquefies at 76 degrees. (Incidentally, the viscosity of complex materials isn't a simple matter of averaging the viscosity of its component materials; cholesterol and saturated fats sometimes lower the viscosity of cell components.) \n\nMost of the images and metaphors relating to coconut oil and cholesterol that circulate in our culture are false and misleading.

Hi Danette.  This would be a false statement.  Examples of lipids that do not contain fatty acids include cholesterol and vitamin E.  Fatty acids are lipids, but not all lipids are fatty acids.

If I remember correctly from my college days, you have a higher chance of developing a toxicity to the fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E & K), since they are stored in the fat and are not water soluable.  If you lose much of your body fat, you will lose many of the vitamins stored there.  However, with a balanced diet and a daily vitamin supplement (if needed), you won't become vitamin deficient.\n\nGood question!

Isoflavonoids are a class of flavonoids that are derived in the human diet mainly from soybean-based foods. The major dietary isoflavonoids, genistein and daidzein, have estrogen-like activity and are classed as phytoestrogens. Because estrogens can lower serum LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol, the objective of this study was to determine if isoflavonoids could improve serum lipids in healthy subjects. Forty-six men and 13 postmenopausal women not receiving hormone replacement therapy completed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of two-way parallel design and 8 wk duration. One tablet containing 55 mg of isoflavonoids (predominantly in the form of genistein) or one placebo tablet was taken daily with the evening meal. Subjects maintained their usual diet and physical activity, which were unchanged throughout the intervention. Measurement of isoflavonoids and their metabolites in 24-h urine samples provided an assessment of compliance and of isoflavonoid metabolism. Serum total, LDL, HDL and HDL subclass cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoprotein (a) were assessed at baseline and during the last week of intervention. After adjustment for baseline values, no significant differences in postintervention serum lipid and lipoprotein (a) concentrations between groups were identified. Further adjustment for age, gender and weight change did not alter the results. In addition, changes in urinary isoflavonoids were not significantly correlated with changes in serum lipids and lipoprotein (a). Therefore, this study does not support the hypothesis that isoflavonoid phytoestrogens can improve the serum lipids, at least in subjects with average serum cholesterol concentrations.\n\nThe chemical structure of isoflavones is very similar to that of our own estrogen. Because of this similarity in structure, isoflavones can interfere with the action of our own estrogen. Sometimes isoflavones will reduce the effects of estrogen because they compete with the same receptor sites on our cells. Some of the risks of excess estrogen can be lowered in this way.\n\nIsoflavones can also increase the estrogen activity. If during menopause the body's natural level of estrogen drops, isoflavones can compensate this by binding to same receptor sites, thereby easing menopause symptoms as a result. The best way to consume isoflavones is in the form soy or soyfoods, so you can benefit from other healthy components of soy. Soy contains many types of isoflavones, but the most beneficial are genistein (see picture) and daidzein. The highest amounts of isoflavones can be found in soy nuts and tempeh. Isoflavones are fairly stable. Under normal cooking conditions, isoflavones are not destroyed.\n\n\n\ntannin, tannic acid, or gallotannic acid, astringent vegetable product found in a wide variety of plants. Sources include the bark of oak, hemlock, chestnut, and mangrove; the leaves of certain sumacs; and plant galls. Tannin is also present in tea, coffee, and walnuts. A solution of tannic acid is obtained from one of these natural sources by extraction with hot water; in particular, gallotannic acid is obtained from plant gall. Tannin varies somewhat in composition, having the approximate empirical formula C76H52O46. Tannic acid is a colorless to pale yellow solid; it is believed to be a glucoside in which each of the five hydroxyl groups of the glucose molecule is esterified with a molecule of digallic acid. Tannin is used in tanning animal skins to make leather; it transforms certain proteins of animal tissue into compounds that resist decomposition. It is also used in manufacturing inks, as a mordant in dyeing, and in medicine as an astringent and for treatment of burns.

Water soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin C, go straight through your digestive system and are excreted with urine. They are safe to ingest frequently. Fat soluble vitamins, however, are stored in the body for longer periods of time.

The term vitamin comes from vital amine, which means that yor body needs them . If youare getting a varied diet, you probably do not need to take vitamin pills. Vitamins A,D,E, and K are fat soluble. You can get an overdose with too many vitamin pills. The others are water soluble and you can not overdose. What is important is to get the right number of servings of fruits and vegetables, milk products and meat or meat substitutes to be sure you have the needed vitamins. % servings a day for tose fruits and vegetables. 4 servings of grains, 2 meat and 4 milk.

The seeds are rich in manganese, copper, and calcium (90 mg per tablespoon for unhulled seeds, only 10 mg for hulled seeds), and contain Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and Vitamin E (tocopherol). They contain powerful antioxidants called lignans, which are also anti-carcinogenic. They also contain phytosterols, which block cholesterol production. Sesame contains one lignan unique to it called sesamin. The nutrients of sesame seeds are better absorbed if they are ground or pulverised before consumption\nVR

Water, vitamins, lots of vitamin E.

I'm afraid the vitamins will not affect LDL levels at all. Soluble fiber helps drop cholesterol level, as do very large doses of niacin (Vitamin B3), but vitamins E & C are anti-oxidants that help quench free radicals & they don't really do anything with cholesterol.

Sterols are under the classification of lipids. Take your food sample, add a known amount of an internal standard which contains the sterol you are analysing for (ex cholesterol). Saponify it by using a 50% KOH/water solution and heat at 80° for ½hr. Cool and then make the solution more aqueus by adding a 60:40 mix of water:ethanol. This will completely hydrolyse most of the food, except if it contains a lot of starch/fibre. Separate the lipid fraction by extracting with cyclohexane or another organic solvent. Do the extraction several times, and concentrate the extractions. Run these samples on a GC (Gas chromatograph) instrument. If you are testing for cholesterol, then run some standards of known concentration. This will assist in quantifying the amount of sterol. If you are testing for other sterols, make sure to run pure standard samples on the GC. Compare the chromatogram of the standard with the unknown, this will tell you what you've got and how much of it.
