Hi Julia
No you don’t have to stop Vitamin E but remember its better just to take a regular multivitamin. That plus Vitamin D is pretty much all you need.

Comment on Exercise in under 7 minutes a week? by Dr. Sean

The problem with designing such study in diabetics is the risk of stressing the heart too much. Remember, the take home point of the study is that HIT can be added to regular workouts. It is certainly not meant to be a complete workout by itself and definitely not to be in 7 min per week.

Babraj JA, Vollaard N, Keast C, Guppy FM, Cottrell G, Timmons, JA. Extremely short duration high intensity interval training substantially improves insulin action in young healthy males. BMC Endocrine Disorders 2009, 9:3.s– It’s been well over a year now since this study came out, and I haven’t come across any similar studies conducted since then to confirm or refute the claims made regarding blood glucose– at least none that cite this one by name. Was it an outlyer? It was widely reported in the mass media at the time and the results are sufficiently important to demand further study… it would be interesting to see a study in which HIIT is used in Type II diabetics, pre-diabetics, to assist in blood glucose control…

It’s alarming how often studies such as this one get twisted and the actual data is simply overlooked. I first came across this study on Yahoo earlier this month and just had to read it after they hailed 7 minutes as being the magic number to get healthy. Of course, they didn’t mention how the study did not look at other effects that exercise can bring such as weight control, improved cardiovascular function, or the positive effects in the respiratory system. Things that should be, to me at least, looked at when talking about exercise improving health. That being said, improved insulin resistance is a great thing and I agree with you, HIT is a good technique to incorporate into training.

Why certain outlets couldn’t let the study speak for itself, which it does nicely, and tried to make it more that it was I wish I knew. It’s too bad because I actually think people that have tried the fad diets/training programs won’t even look at the study seeing it as another one of those.

Certainly not. I still recommend a multivitamin a day. However, I do NOT recommend any mega vitamins as they are not helpful and potentially harmful.
