The researcher also expressed that vitamin E contained in the pecans not only is a natural antioxidant but also the key to protect the nervous system. The antioxidant is the nutrient that can prevent the cell damage in the food and the research has proved that it can fight against the Alzheimer disease, Parkinson's disease, cancer and heart diseases. According to the data of United States Department of Agriculture, the antioxidant content of the pecans ranks top 15 among all the food, thus pecans is a very good source of the antioxidant.
