Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Hi Daphne, You can get a wine saver device to keep a vaccuum inside the bottle as you use up the oil, but you'd have to transfer the CLO into a bottle that fits it. The one I got is called Vacu-Vin. - >>Does it make sense to take CLO with a vitamin E supplement (thorne)? Do I need to worry about oxidation of the pufa & free radicals, and does taking it with E help that issue? We get carlson's and refrigerate but it lasts months.

LOL. do you know of any evidence that vitamin D stores are depleted by ingesting PUFAs? so far, all the stuff i've read has found that PUFAs deplete vitamin E stores. vitamin E is part of the antioxidant network that the body uses to quench free radicals including those causing lipid peroxidation, so i'm wondering if that's because it's more efficient than using vitamin D, or if it's simply more studied? i'm going to be taking vary large doses of fish oil as per my ND's recommendation, and i will definitely be taking vitamin E along with it as a safeguard, besides, i would take E anyways. if i knew for a fact that some of the vitamin D in the fish oil neutralized oxidized PUFAs i might not take as much though, but i haven't read anything to that effect, although it sounds plausible in theory. if you have any evidence of it, please do post it. >>>Also, wheat germ oil does not contain the full spectrum of tocotrienols-- it contains miniscule quantities of alpha and beta tocotrienols, and does not contain gamma and delta tocotrienols at all. ---->where did you get that info? according to standard process their wheat germ oil contains the complete vitamin E complex. >>>>On the other hand, red palm oil is very, very high in all of the tocotrienols. ---->how much is " very, very high " ? all i have found is on the TT website that gives a parts per million graph, but i'm not sure how that compares to other sources in terms of ppm. wheat germ oils is 65% vitamin E by weight. i'd guess that's higher than 1200 ppm (for palm oil)? >>>Additionally, red palm oil can be used as a food rather than a supplement, displacing other fats, is safe to do light cooking with, because it is high in saturated fat and has virtually no pufa, and contains about 65% of the total vitamin E that wheat germ oil does. ---->where did you find this figure? one tiny perle of wheat germ oil contains almost 400 IUs vitamin E, so...would i only have to consume approx. 1.5 little drops of palm oil to get the same amount of vitamin E? also, i don't *want* to replace my other oils/fats which happen to be CO, lard, butter and animal fat! i'm eating these all for good reason, and i'm not interested in replacing them with palm oil at the moment. i take such a tiny amount of wheat germ oil (1 perle per day - the size of a raisin) that it doesn't replace other oils in my diet. if someone *wants* to replace other oils in their diet, then palm oil would probably be a better bet than wheat germ oil, though. another thing, i don't think i'm actually getting enough LA in my diet and i know this tiny raisin-sized drop of wheatgerm oil is not much, but maybe i can get a smidgeon of LA from it. in terms of PUFA though, it's quite insignifcant. volume-wise, i'm going to be taking about about 48x more CLO than wheatgerm oil, so that's obviously of *much* more concern in terms of PUFA intake. maybe i'll up the wheatgerm oil though so the ratio is close to 24x. >>>IOW, I don't see any reason at all to consume wheat germ oil. ---->right, you've stated that before. but realize that there's more than one source of naturally occurring vit. e and not everyone chooses the same source you would choose for a variety of reasons.

Nope... that's one reason I said I wasn't going to dispute what you said about vitamin E, because I've just " heard " this, and don't know any details in how it modifies the need for vitamin E. > > > > >>>Also, wheat germ oil does not contain the full spectrum of tocotrienols-- > it > contains miniscule quantities of alpha and beta tocotrienols, and does not > contain gamma and delta tocotrienols at all. > > ---->where did you get that info? according to standard process their wheat > germ oil contains the complete vitamin E complex. Enig's book. Wheat germ oil has the full spectrum of tocopherols, but not tocotrienols. Any synthetic vitamin E supplements doesn't have any tocotrienols at all, but wheat germ has next to none of the tocotrienols it does have, and palm oil has like 7 times as much of all the tocotrienols. > > > >>>>On the other hand, red palm oil is > very, very high in all of the tocotrienols. > > ---->how much is " very, very high " ? all i have found is on the TT website > that gives a parts per million graph, but i'm not sure how that compares to > other sources in terms of ppm. wheat germ oils is 65% vitamin E by weight. > i'd guess that's higher than 1200 ppm (for palm oil)? 145 mg per kg of alpha tocotrienol, 32 mg per kg of beta, 286 mg per kg of gamma, and 69 per kg of delta. Wheat germ oil, comparatively, has 26 mg/kg of alpha, and 18 mg/kg of beta, with no gamma or delta tocotrienols, according to KYF. > ---->where did you find this figure? one tiny perle of wheat germ oil > contains almost 400 IUs vitamin E, so...would i only have to consume approx. > 1.5 little drops of palm oil to get the same amount of vitamin E? Wheat germ oil has a combined total of 2615 mg per kg of all vitamin E, and palm oil has 1172 mg per kg of combined vitamin E. I'd hit the wrong number in my calculator before, I thought it said 1700 for palm oil, so I was off-- it's 44%. But that's still close enough that wheat germ oil offers no unique advantage in concentration. Especially when you consider that the palm oil is clearly more advantageous of a form of vitamin E, since it has a balanced spectrum, whereas wheat germ oil is severely deficient in the entire tocotrienol spectrum. also, i > don't *want* to replace my other oils/fats which happen to be CO, lard, > butter and animal fat! i'm eating these all for good reason, and i'm not > interested in replacing them with palm oil at the moment. You wouldn't have to replaced very much. You only need twice as much palm oil/butter to replace the wheat germ oil, so a couple teaspoons would do the trick. It is of course up to you. I'm not telling you what to eat. I'm pointing out that wheat germ oil is a waste of money compared to palm oil. i take such a tiny > amount of wheat germ oil (1 perle per day - the size of a raisin) that it > doesn't replace other oils in my diet. then the palm oil you would need to replace it would be hardly more than the size of two raisins. I find it hard to believe there's all that vitamin E in that amount of wheat germ oil, but anyway, Enig's figures are all measured in mg/kg, and she has figures in the same units for both oils, and palm oil has 44% of the vitamin E as wheat germ oil by mass. if someone *wants* to replace other > oils in their diet, then palm oil would probably be a better bet than wheat > germ oil, though. another thing, i don't think i'm actually getting enough > LA in my diet and i know this tiny raisin-sized drop of wheatgerm oil is not > much, but maybe i can get a smidgeon of LA from it. in terms of PUFA though, > it's quite insignifcant. volume-wise, i'm going to be taking about about 48x > more CLO than wheatgerm oil, so that's obviously of *much* more concern in > terms of PUFA intake. maybe i'll up the wheatgerm oil though so the ratio is > close to 24x. I hope this doesn't sound arrogant, but I have no choice as to question your value since I don't have the bottle in front of me. I find it hard to believe a 500 mg capsule or one of similar size of wheat germ oil can have such a high vitamin E value for several reasons. 1) I read a Standard Process article a year ago that I believe you linked to-- not SP itself but Clayton Better Health Center-- and they claimed that their SP vitamin E capsules had 8 IU per capsule. Are you sure the bottle lists the amount as per capsule, and not as per some other amount? 2) According to <A HREF= " http://www.unu.edu/unupress/unupbooks/80734e/80734E05.htm " >ch02c</A> , alpha-tocopheral conversion factor from mg to IU is 1.49. I had trouble understanding how to use their other factors for other vitamin E portions due to the way they were listed, but I got the impression that all the other portions of vitamin E have *less* of a conversion factor. So if we use 1.49 for *all* of the spectrum with Enig's information, wheat germ oil around 4 IU per gram. Now maybe I'm misunderstanding the conversion factor, it was all I could find. But anyway, even if the conversion factor is misunderstood, it remains that palm oil as 44% by mass the vitamin E of wheat germ oil. In addition it is loaded with carotenes and doesn't have tons of pufa. Wheat germ oil is 60% LA. Maybe you are deficient in LA, but I wouldn't simply assume it because you don't eat grains and nuts, if you are. LA is in butter, meat, etc, even when it's grass-fed. n-3s dominate grass, but it's only about 60% n-3s. Since you should have plenty of DGLA and AA from other foods, it seems like anyone's LA should be met with most foods. Obviously I can't analyze *your* diet, but for the average person on this list, or anyone else for that matter, it seems people are just unlikely to run into an LA deficiency if they are eating grains, nuts, seeds, or animal products, which covers most of the bases. Palm oil is probably one of the or the best source of carotenes to, so if you used a little bit every day you could save some big bucks on wheat germ oil and the carotene supplement you're taking, no? > >>>IOW, I don't see any reason at all to consume wheat germ oil. > > ---->right, you've stated that before. but realize that there's more than > one source of naturally occurring vit. e and not everyone chooses the same > source you would choose for a variety of reasons. So what are those reasons? To get linoleic acid? Besides, I've already made the point to *you* but somone else was asking a question about what they should do to prevent lipid peroxidation with their fish oil, and now they've benefited from two points of view and can buy whatever the heck they want.

It's not just the name. They actually TEST stuff to see if it has traces of gluten. Most oats harvested in the US, for instance, have measureable amounts of wheat gluten. So does wheatgerm oil.

I personally do not want to overdo the n-3s, so the brand Gene mentions is better for me, because it has twice the vitamin to pufa ratio as Carlson's. For someone who wants a very high intake of n-3s, Carlson's would be the best way to get it. One thing to keep in mind, Jordan Rubin said in private conversation that he lab tested some CLO's, and found Carlson's to only have 25% of the vitamin A they claim is in it. He said he hopes it was an isolated incident, but believes the molecular distillation probably depletes the vitamin A. The vitamin D was what was claimed.

Thanks for the info about the A and n-3. Where do you find the actual nutrient content information? DHA is very important to me, as I have been breastfeeding for 2 1/2 years with no dietary source of DHA, though I have usually had alot of linolenic acid. I don't feel any difference now when I use it, I think I am not converting it as well now due to malabsorption of certain nutrients. I am worried about fish protein affecting my leaky gut, and do not want to develop an allergy to it which would prevent me from eating it once healed, so I decided to go with the oil.
