Doubtless it does change the properties; certainly some vitamin E is destroyed in the process. However, the references only give vit.E for the oil, and also don't comment on whether it's cold-pressed or not. I recommend raw nuts to all my clients (who aren't allergic to nuts) for the natural vit.E as well as the abundance of trace minerals. Roasted nuts contain all the minerals but lose most of the E.
