Nuts rule! For so many reasons.
In a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers reported an association between daily nut consumption and a reduction in the risk of dying from cancer, heart disease, and other major chronic diseases. Lead author Charles Fuchs discusses these findings.

I must be part squirrel; I'm a nutaholic. Love cashews and peanuts. WHO could pass up a slice of
pecan pie? I'm always munching on dry roasted peanuts and sprinkle them on home made
Chinese dishes (usually Chow Mein) and have a jar handy while watching TV.

Only exception is the Brazil nut; don't care for them and yes, they're hard to crack.

But get them shelled because they ward off anxiety and depression due to the high selenium content in them. Shelled isn't as good as shelled, but still worth the effort.
 
I like pistachios, macadamias, and walnuts the best. Hubby's fav is almonds, we usually have those around the house to snack on. Neither of us care for peanuts.

I'll go watch the vid, but I do love nuts. I used to worry about the fat but not anymore. Just balance things, portions etc. I also am into the coconut oil, grapeseed oil, olive oil. I can't think of a better snack then a handful of nuts. I like so many kinds, and try to get a bit of a variety;)

I like nuts as a rule, but what I am now with pepperoni pizza (addicted) I used to be with peanut butter, especially the chunky kind. I'd eat it on graham crackers most of the time, but if I ran out of those I'd simply scoop it out of the jar with a spoon and devour it.

Then one day I just lost my desire for it. Weird.
 
Somebody once told me that the Chinese use nuts in their cooking (like water chestnuts) because they like the FEEL of the food in their mouths,
as well as the taste.
