Default Nuts!!!!

Are they actually good or bad for you??

One day i hear theyre good, provide key elements in your diet... the next day i hear they contain oils you dont really need!?

Confused!

They're good for you as long as you don't eat hundreds every day and have a mixed variety and not just a pack of KP nuts and thinking you're eating healthily.

There used to be 100million but there seems to be a few missing nowadays, was it something they ate?

In the last 30 years or so, some person or body of persons have suggested, not all at the same time, that everything we eat is bad for us.

Usually followed a couple of years later by a different body of people saying the same things ARE good for us.

Eat what you want / fancy don't worry about it, just don't eat anything in massive excess.

Certain nuts are good for you, but I favour pistachios and cashews which I suspect are bad.

The best nuts for sucking are honey roast cashews.


I used to love Brannigans beer nuts but I haven't seen them for yonks, they must have stopped making them.

Depends what nuts, fatty peanuts covered in salt, definately not, but many other types of nuts are very good for you.

All types of nuts are good for you in moderation.

Obviously salted etc aren't, but natural ones are.

Best thing is to get a good variety of all different kinds, don't just stick to one. The natural bags in the fruit and veg section of most supermarkets will have a health wheel (or similar) on them, telling you what they're low in, what they're high in etc.

Walnuts are very good as they're high in Omega 3

Brazil nuts are also very good, and high in Selenium

Almonds are a particularly good all-rounder, full of goodness.

Cashews are also very good.

Go easy on the peanuts though, they're known to slow down the metabolism, so can cause weight gain more than most things!

I hate Brazil nuts, they squeak on my teeth when I bite them, sort of like scraping a blackboard with your fingernails.
