Many studies suggest that doses in the range of 200 IUs to 400 IUs of alpha-tocopherol (or, better, 80 mg to 160 mg of the whole complex, including tocotrienols) offer the best antioxidant protection against common age-related diseases. Nuts are good for you, but you would have to eat far too many to get that amount of vitamin...
