Hi, I went to Wal-Mart yesterday to buy some natural Vit. E. The synthetic Vit. E is generally cheaper and you will not see NATURAL on the front of the container. I noted the word natural was not emblazoned but was fairly demure.
My advice is to read the label for they will either say natural, or nothing. If they say nothing, you can assume the worst. Jean ************* > > This may be a dumb question but I'll ask anyway...
