Are Roasted Nuts Healthy? | Mark's Daily Apple

Are Roasted Nuts Healthy? | Mark's Daily Apple

Great article from Mark Sisson on eating roasted nuts and nut based flours. Jump over and read the whole thing, but here is the takeaway:
Exercise moderation with the baked goods. Be smart and pay attention to what they’re doing to your body. If you find yourself gaining weight after too many walnut meal pie crusts, maybe cancel your Amazon subscription to the nut flour variety pack. All in all? Don’t eat this stuff all the time. They’re treats. They’re not really health foods, regardless of the quality of ingredients used. Just like you wouldn’t eat cupcakes every day and think you were making a massive contribution to your health, don’t eat almond muffins every morning and call it breakfast. And remember, if you’re going to eat nuts, the best option in my book are macadamias, hands down.
