whos that in the profile picture mate?
Do seeds from desert plants have relatively more Vitamin E? In the heat they should need more to avoid PUFA oxidation.
how is the french cheese getting that much vitamin E? being a cheese wouldnt it be very low in PUFA, high in SFA and MUFA? typically the high SFA foods dont seem to have much vitamin E...I bought, and ate some pomegranates, and their arils today. The vitamin E is in the seeds, and the seeds only represent about 10% of the aril weight. The rest is red stuff around the seed. Arils are about 34% of the actual pomegranate weight. Sooo the vitamin E content of whole arils is only 30mg per 100g, and in a 550g pomegranate there is 187g of arils making for 56mg vitamin e per pomegranate which is still not bad but not the top source. Looks like annatto seeds with 160mg/100g are still the top source.
Pistachio nuts, sunflower seeds have 40mg per 100g. French cheese 90mg per 100g.
Here is a textbook on vitamin E

does orange juice work for this vitamin E recycling effectIIRC its vit E that protects from lipid peroxidation but vitamin C helps recycle the vit E so it can be "used again"
Interesting!You don't need a lot of vitamin E if you are low in PUFA. It can help in estrogenic conditions. There probably isn't a practical source of vitamin E in nature separate from PUFA, because vitamin E's role is to prevent the PUFA from spoiling. High vitamin C fruits also have proportionally more PUFA than low vitamin C fruits, for similar reasons - to stop the PUFA oxidising.
Good quoteInteresting!
