The reason most nuts and seeds need vitamin E is due to the
unsaturated fatty acid, which is susceptible to lipid
peroxidation. If you eat seeds and nuts that are a bit
rancid, you are not doing your body any favors. I saw a bag
of raw pecans in a plastic bag in a local grocery store that
were obviously rancid just by the look of them. If you eat
nuts or seeds along with foods high in unsaturated fatty
acids, such as pork fat, chicken fat, or various oils
(safflower, sunflower, flax, canola, soybean, corn,
vegetable, etc.), you are creating the potential for plenty
of lipid peroxidation. If you don't believe me, do your own
search for 4-HNE, which seems to be the most dangerous by
product of omega 6 polyunsaturated lipid peroxidation.
www.pubmed.com is the best source, in general. It's a bit
more complicated than this, for example, getting the
arachidonic acid out of your body should be your number one
health priority, but it takes about 2 years to do this on a
high saturated fatty acid diet, such as the one I've posted
here several times (as "nick"😉, so in the meantime,
regardless of what you eat, try to limit the amount of in
vivo lipid peroxidation (basically, fats or cholesterol
going rancid inside your body). Aside from avoiding the
unsaturated fatty acids (saturated fatty acids are not
subject to lipid peroxidation), you can eat a mixture of
foods that contain potent and plentiful anitoxidants -
berries, rosemary, dark chocolate, etc.

fats and only eat a small amount of lean meat and low fat
dairy in a varied wholefood diet.
