Three Problems with peanuts and possibly the increase in anaphylactic peanut allergies.
1. Most peanuts have been genetically modifications, which means it has been changed and altered, which makes them difficult for our bodies to recognize and properly metabolize and utilize.
2. Peanuts are prone to harboring molds, since they grow at the same level as mold, most notably the carcinogenic mold aflatoxin.
3. Peanuts also have a tendency to accumulate pesticide residues from surrounding soil and become concentrated sources of toxic pesticides.
I suggest avoiding peanuts in all forms, but all other nuts are okay to consume.
