Please let us all know what research has "proven" this in human divers????? Everything in Bennett and Elliott is opinion based on animal reseach. There is nothing in Bennett and Elliott (4th edition or earlier editions) that categorically states that having healthy divers take vitamin E suppliments will reduce the incidence or threshold to oxygen toxicity or DCI. I am arguing with your statement that this has been proved. I am not arguing with your recommendations for divers to use vitamin E or vitamin C. John
