By Ezra Levin
Summary: The author of this report founded Viobin Corp, which developed wheat germ oil concentration methods. Fully referenced, the article declares that there is far more to wheat germ oil than alpha-tocopherol and that the effect delivered by natural vitamin E depends on much more than the isolated tocopherol. For instance, Levin writes, "It appears that, for the first time, evidence has been presented of the presence in wheat germ oil of a factor that exerts a beneficial effect in neuromuscular disturbances other than vitamin E [i.e., tocopherol]." Levin's claims support Dr. Royal Lee's contention that vitamins are synergistically combined complexes and not isolated chemicals. "For many years," he adds, "we, in our laboratory, have suggested that research workers in reporting their work make a sharp distinction between vitamin E [tocopherol] and wheat germ oil. [The neuromuscular study] makes such differentiation imperative." From the American Journal of Digestive Diseases. Reprint 9, 1944.
