    Let Us Expose the Truth About Nuts

    Share

    Nuts are widely recognized as healthy foods, but there are hidden dangers, particularly with almonds. A typical serving size of almonds is 28 grams. Let’s analyze the nutrients in this serving size:

    • Protein: 5.6 grams
    • Calcium: 13% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA)
    • Magnesium: 24% of the RDA

    However, almonds have an extremely high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of 2000:1, which is highly inflammatory. A 28-gram serving of almonds contains approximately 3.5 grams of omega-6 and no omega-3. To counterbalance this, you would need to consume around 180 grams of salmon, which is impractical for most people.

    Additionally, almonds are often coated with BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene), a preservative that can be harmful to the liver and kidneys.

    Conclusion

    Given the high inflammatory content and the harmful chemicals used in the preservation of almonds, it’s important to be mindful of the type and quantity of nuts consumed.
