You know, if sugar free, then I think the answer to that would be yes!

FDA claims walnuts are drugs

[muawiyah]

Many (includes me) can knock back their blood sugar readings 40 to 100 points with a handful of peacans, and even less than that if walnuts are used, and a chunk of a hickory nut ~ which is so powerful it will tan you tongue.

This is not consistent though ~ maybe one day out of 3 to 5 depending on the season.

Glad official science has discovered the phenomenon.

The FDA is nuts.

>> raw unpeeled walnuts

I’ve never actually known anyone who could eat an unpeeled walnut. Have you?

I have met a few who are rather squirly.

I’ve planted about a dozen pecan trees on our Ozarks property but the poor soil has them very slow growing. I also planted hickory nut trees and some filberts. I will trim these in December for the first time.

FReepmail me if you want on or off the diabetes ping list.

Abbreviations at the abstract:
HPLC = high pressure liquid chromatography
TOF = time of flight
MS = mass spectrometry
LC = liquid chromatography
FT might mean Fouriour(sp?) Transform. I don't know ITD.

Do cashews count?

[sauropod]

thanks for posting this.

[upchuck]

I eat mixed nuts on a regular basis. Tastes great, loaded with good stuff and naturally low in carbs.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks decimon and neverdem.

It took only one ounce of mixed nuts (raw unpeeled walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts) a day to produce the good effects.

See, now that's my problem. I like Blue Diamond almonds; I'll eat raw almonds, but the only other one I've found that I prefer raw is cashews.

[CitizenM]

Interesting.

I lost about 17 lbs in 3 months once....eating a lot of RAW cashews....they are good, especially when dairy, flour, sugar, coffee, vinegar are banned from your diet.

[9YearLurker]

Coffee, wine, chocolate and nuts—that about gets me through my day!

[Pining_4_TX]

Yes, that makes them even healthier!

[knittnmom]

:-) Then bring on the nuts! :-)
