Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 There is usually little to fear from any of the "nuts". However, peanuts are NOT in the same family as other nuts. Peanuts are a legume (a bean). Some people can develop an allergy to almonds or cashews, (etc) but the numbers are low compared to peanuts. I've read that peanut allergies may run in excess of 5% of the population. Larry J.

It is delicious and better for you. You'll probably have to go to a health food store to get it, but well worth the trip!! Hope you like it.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Whether one is allergic to peanuts may be a moot point. Peanuts are renowned for exhibiting aflatoxin, a mold. And the ones not grown organically are grown in fields alternated with cotton, which involves highly toxic pesticides and herbicides. We are what we eat, and it should be food that's " clean.
