Hello All!

 

Peanuts are not actually NUTs. " Although a nut in the culinary sense, in the

botanical sense the fruit of the peanut is a woody, indehiscent legume or pod

and not technically a nut " .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut

 

I grew up on an East Texas goober (peanut) farm and we would not eat them raw

because of the danger of infecting us with unknown maladies (today we know about

fungus, mold, and candida). Goobers had to be soaked in a saline solution and

then roasted for human consumption. Our pig leved them also.

Many, many people are sensitive or allergic to peanuts. Today if I eat too much

peanut butter (natural kind, which I dearly love in pb n honey sandwiches) I

will get an alergic reaction of swollen facial tissue. Giant lips is one aspect.

Eyelids puffed closed is another.

 

If you want the full spectrum of almonds try sprouting them for a week. They

plump up and become somewhat softer and their taste is awsome, and they digest

very well.

 

Eating a handfull of nuts a day will help as an antioxidant and also internal

chloesterol generation.

Re: Re: appetite suppressant help

 

the book detailed which nuts were ok. I know almonds were ok - cant recall if

cashews were ok or not- I think they are. I just remembered them really singling

out peanuts and ALL peanut products. but peanuts have always been in a kind of

class of thir own. look at people with allergies to them. cant think of many

common foods that will kill you if you are allergic to them. seafoods....that's

about all I can think of easily.

 

it does seem odd your naturopath didn't say something about it. hmmm-

oh well-
