Hi Mindy, Generally for natural oils the more double bonds the oil contains the more Vit E nature places there to protect against free radical attack. However commercial processing may strip most, if not all, of the natural Vit E from the oil and it is then replaced by synthetic anti-oxidants designed for low cost and to stop rancidity on the shelf. However inside your fire storm of a living body, even the naturally ocuring Vit E is not enough to ensure protection from free radical attack and to stop the formation of oxidized LDL (the cause of blood vessel plaque) I take 500 IU's per day of supplemental Vit E to top up my lipid protection, 2 - 3 g of Vit C and 1.2 g of Lysine. ======================== Good Health & Long Life, Greg Watson, http://optimalhealth.cia.com.au gowatson USDA database (food breakdown) http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/ PubMed (research papers) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi DWIDP (nutrient analysis) http://www.walford.com/dwdemo/dw2b63demo.exe Patch file for above http://www.walford.com/download/dwidp67u.exe KIM (omega analysis) http://ods.od.nih.gov/eicosanoids/KIM_Install.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Mindy, Extra Virgin Olive Oil is high in vitamin E content and other valuable nutrients as they are not compromised by processing. It's the expeller-pressed process that preserves the nutrients.
