Are Nuts Healthy?

[Nelson221]

Most experts seem to all agree that nuts are very healthy, but they 
seem to have a lot of fat in them. Won't eating high fat foods like
 nuts make it more difficult to lose weight?

The type of fat in nuts is very healthy.

[bhg481]

Nuts are a plant's way of producing a new generation and, as such, need to contain enough energy to fed the new plant until it has grown roots and shoots, when it can then feed itself. High energy content = a lot of calories.

Almonds very good, and walnuts, peanuts without the salt.

[Barsel]

The fat in nuts is good fat, but they should still be eaten in moderation.

Yes. You have to eat less of other foods or exercise more to use up those calories. But the nuts themselves are healthy, unlike some other snack foods.

Yes, nuts are healthy fats and can be consumed in moderation.

Most nuts aren't nuts

[Old_Geezer]

[Hopkirk]

Peanuts, cashews, almonds, pistachios, walnuts, brazil's. None of them are nuts.
