Answer 6

Depends on who is eating them, they are healthy BUT they are high in fat, and if you have clogged arteries they will further contribute to fatty deposits in your arteries. Raw nuts are better than the ones that are salted and flavored. Go to the health food store and buy organic peanuts and as with every other food, EVERYTHING IN MODERATION.

Answer 12

"uhh duh there good what are you talking about. if they were bad then why would people sell them"

Have you ever heard of cigarettes?

Well anyways, I've never heard of the alphatoxins thing, and I eat pb&j regularly, I haven't noticed anything strange... If you feel strange about eating them, however, I suggest that you don't... you should always listen to your intuition.

Answer 14

yes they are because they provide antioxidants, Vitamin E and B6 and other oils. They aren't good for you if you have allergies though

Answer 15

All nuts are healthy.  Peanuts are high in protein and the good kind of fat.  However, they are high in calories so I'd limit my consumption.
