was this funded by the almond industry

I think Potato Chips, Doritos, Fritos, French Fries, etc have the same effect. Right?

[dkGba]

Hah! I can tell you this does not work!🤣

[Third Wheel]

“in some women”

LOL! How vague can they be with this? How many is “some”? Two, ten, 20 or a million?

Sort of. The salt content helps you to retain water and fill out the wrinkles that way. Much cheaper than Botox!

I heard a few years ago a few almonds every day has anti-cancer qualities to it so I down a few each morning on my way out the door.

Yeah because you will be so constipated and straining all the time it will pull your face out.

I heard that back in the 1970s.

We also heard that sardines were full of nucleic acid, and would delay aging. Millions of women gulped down lots of sardines - until we became sick of them :-)

[Jamestown1630]

As I recall, raw almonds were suggested as healthy - not those wonderful smoked and salted ones you get in the little can at the grocery or drugstore :-)

Please, please do not eat more than a few almonds at one time. They are loaded with oxalates that will cause perforation of your gut lining leading to leaky gut, brain fog, fatigue, dehydration, pain all over body, and for some, breast cancer, heart attacks, autism, etc.

Buying more almonds tonight.

[nickcarraway]

I don’t know if this specified raw ones, but they probably are healthy. Try the sprouted almonds, if you have a chance.

[Jamestown1630]

Oh, my.

I’ve eaten so many over the decades, raw as well as those wonderful ‘Smokehouse’ ones, that I must be dead by now...

(Is ‘Brain Fog’ anything like ‘Brain Cloud’?)

[PeachyKeen]

I’m a cashew girl. Eat a handful every day and I have never looked so beautiful in my 67 years!😁

[nickcarraway]

I know they talk about oxalates, but if you avoid oxalates, what are you going to do: just eat yoghurt and eggs?

More on nuts. My gurus, Dr Weil, eats a handful a day, raw.

https://www.drweil.com/diet-nutrition/nutrition/nuts-for-nuts/

I eat nuts frequently, mostly raw and unsalted. I store them in the refrigerator until I need them. If you like, you can toast nuts yourself by stirring them about in a dry skillet over medium heat. Or spread them on a baking sheet placed in a 350-degree oven; toss them occasionally until they are done. Use up toasted nuts quickly, because their unsaturated oils oxidize quickly on exposure to heat, light and air, creating rancidity. Rancid oils are pro-inflammatory and carcinogenic. Always smell nuts before you eat them or add them to recipes to be sure they are fresh.

As you noted, despite their beneficial nutritional profile, nuts are relatively high in calories, so enjoy them in moderation. I usually eat a handful A day – my favorites are walnuts, cashews, and almonds.'
