New York, February 11: Vitamin E could be your best bet if you want a perfectly healthy and glowing skin but pregnant women must exercise caution in its intake as a recent study has linked excess of this vitamin to heart defect in infants.

A study by Dutch researchers states that excessive levels of Vitamin E taken in early pregnancy may put the infant at a risk of being born with a heart defect.

Researchers at Rotterdam concentrated on 276 women who gave birth to babies with heart defects and 324 women whose infants were born healthy.
