With 58% polyunsaturated oil(Long chain fatty acid) content I wouldn't call walnut healthy, and it's 12% Omega 3 content isn't as good as other sources.(Too much polyunsaturated oil content can lead to cancer, dibetes, arthritis, and a whole host of other degenerative diseases.)

Organic, unrefined, coconut oil(Medium chain fatty acid) would be my choice for the most healthy, and beneficial.(And before you yell, "but coconut is a saturated fat", remember it has zero cholesterol. Also saturated fat isn't stored as fat, it is burned for fuel without needing insulin to enter the cell - make a note of that if you're diabetic.)

There are many other benefits to coconut oil, search them out, you'll be glad you did.

That's my 2 cents worth.;-)

i love walnuts. otoh, patton is allergic to them. he paid the
kids a penny a piece to collect up the walnuts out of our yard
one year. it cost him a fortune! now they just plow over them
with the mower.
