It has always been my understanding that Vitamin E is not water soluable. It is fat soluable. Water soluable vitamins (like B & C) are disgarded by the body if there is too much and the body doesn't need them.
Fat soluable vitamins, like E, A, D & K, will not be eliminated if there is no need and will be stored. That is why taking too much can be toxic.

Message enough data doing a "meta-analysis" on anything, and you'll come up with a finding of some kind.

Various nutrition experts recommend starting at something like 50 I.U. per day, and, at 2+ week intervals, increase the dose until one's target dose is reached.
Starting at a high dose like 200 I.U. often causes problems.
Above 800 I.U., vit. E is supposed to elicit an herpetic outbreak.
Suggested Search: "Shute Brothers and Vitamin E" I belive they were the first to discover the cardiovascular benefits of vit.E.
At pharmacologic doses, anything will cause a problem.
