Vitamin E isn't ascorbic acid, Mike. :-) That'd be vitamin C.

That's correct. But vitamin E is also used as a preservative but so far
I've only seen it used in soap, massage oils, etc. so I don't know if
the amount you would have to use in something you eat would be toxic.
I believe vitamin E is stored in the fat part of our bodies so toxicidy
is more of a concern than vitamin C which is stored in water and can be
voided when you, well, ah, . . . VOID !
