Hi, Is the propylparaben present as vitamin e capsules safe? I heard it may cause breast cancer in large amounts. Is it safe to use vitamin e capsules that contain both methylparaben and propylparaben as preservatives?

Vitamin e is a fat-soluble nutrient found in many foods. In the body, it acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are compounds formed when our bodies convert the food we eat into energy. Capsules are safe to take.
