Ideal sources for Wikipedia's health content are defined in the guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Tocopherol. PubMed provides review articles from the past five years (limit to free review articles) The TRIP database provides clinical publications about evidence-based medicine. Other potential sources include: Centre for Reviews and Dissemination and CDC

Proposed: That the two articles, Tocopherol and Vitamin E, complement each other without large amounts of duplication, with the molecular structure and consequent bioactivity in Tocopherol, and Uses in Vitamin E. In each article, there will be a summary of the content that is expanded upon in the other article. The intended model here is how mineral articles have a link to the same minerals' roles in biology. At present there is extensive Uses content in the Tocopherol article, so this will require a transplant. Before I do this, anyone want to disagree? My plan is to clean up uses in March and do the transplant in April. Sources (foods table) already deleted here and existing only in Vitamin E. David notMD (talk) 11:04, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Uses transplanted to Vitamin E. Leaving behind shorter version here. Both still need a bit of work on Supplements and on Antioxidant theory. David notMD (talk) 00:35, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
