    Since avocados are so high in unsaturated fat that they are toxic to the liver and vitamin E is protective against unsaturated fats, wouldn’t the vitamin E in the avocado protect against it’s harmful fats?

      I can say I’ve had very high body temperatures while eating sunflower seeds which are super high PUFA yet have lots of vitamin E

        On the topic of PUFA and vitamin E, Dr Peat in his article on Vitamin E advised prudence in the consumption of PUFA and the need for vitamin E.

         

        Since the requirement for vitamin E decreases as the consumption of unsaturated fats decreases, the requirement, if any, would be very small if we didn’t eat significant quantities of those fats.

        Wouldn’t the vitamin E in those foods like avocados naturally protect against the unsaturated fats?

          In theory this is a possibility that the levels of vitamin E might offset the PUFA present in avocados, this certainly would be the case in an ideal world, but with that being said I do not know what an ideal world would really look like.

          Things like growing conditions, PUFA to vitamin E ratios in the avocado themselves along with other PUFA levels consumed in other foods that have low levels but contribute in a cumulative manner are all factors to consider the levels of Vitamin E one needs to incorporate into ones daily regimen.

            What do you think about avocados and nuts, is the high vitamin E content built into them enough to protect one from the PUFA in them?
