  1. 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.

    But all this is moot if you don't eat any packaged (refined)
    fats and only eat a small amount of lean meat and low fat
    dairy in a varied wholefood diet.
