Roasted Salted Peanuts

Here is a good reason NOT TO EAT PEANUTS.

In this study, 10 out of 36 participants were found to be
positive for the Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen, which causes
the cells of their rectum to divide rapidly (possible risk
factor for colorectal cancer) when they eat peanuts.

Gastroenterology 1998 Jan;114(1):44-9 Peanut ingestion
increases rectal proliferation in individuals with mucosal
expression of peanut lectin receptor. Ryder SD, Jacyna MR,
Levi AJ, Rizzi PM, Rhodes JM. Department of
Gastroenterology, Northwick Park Hospital,

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The Thomsen-Friedenreich blood group
antigen (galactose beta 1,3-N-acetyl galactosamine alpha-)
acts as an oncofetal antigen in the colonic epithelium, with
low expression in normal adult epithelia but increasing to
fetal levels of expression in hyperplasia or malignancy.
Peanut lectin is one of the commonest dietary lectins that
binds this antigen. The aim of this study was to determine
whether peanut ingestion can alter rectal epithelial
proliferation.

METHODS: Thirty-six patients with normal colonic mucosa
consumed 100 g of peanuts each day for 5 days. Rectal
mitotic index was measured before and after ingestion, and
changes in proliferation were correlated with
immunohistochemical detection of lectin receptor expression
by colonocytes and fecal lectin activity as measured by
hemagglutination assay.

RESULTS: Peanut ingestion caused a 41% increase in rectal
mucosal proliferation in individuals with macroscopically
normal mucosa who express TF antigen in their rectal mucosae
(10 of 36 patients studied). The proliferative response
correlated with fecal hemagglutinating activity, and peanut
lectin could be shown immunohistochemically within the
rectal mucosa.

CONCLUSIONS: The common expression of galactose beta 1,3-N-
acetyl galactosamine alpha- by hyperplastic and neoplastic
epithelia may therefore be functionally important because it
allows interaction with mitogenic dietary lectins. This
could be an important mechanism for the association between
diet and colorectal cancer.

Here's an interesting table from who.inttraOpen ↗
ining_material/module4/section6.1.htm

Note that conditions which present multiple risks are called
out separately -- for example, the risk from black lung
disease and the risk of an accident are listed separately
for the condition of living in a coal mine. Although the
benzopyrene risk is cited for charcoal broiled steaks, the
risk from polyaromatic hydrocarbons and polyamines from the
same steaks is not included in the table.

Note where eating peanut butter is in this list. Frankly,
I'd rather eat the charcoal-broiled steak.

Pressure cook the raw peanuts in brine for fifteen minutes
then dry roast at 500 for 75 minutes

To put this in perspective, you'd have to eat 1
*billion* grilled steaks to increase your chances of
contracting cancer (not necessarily death) from eating
grilled beef by 1%.

I think I'll take my chances. I'm a gambler, so I'm gonna go
for 2 billion steaks at 1 in 50 odds. Gonna call my bookie
right now.

I roast peanuts in the oven in a shallow roasting pan with
either oil (I use a bland flavour one like grapeseed oil) or
butter - and keep turning them. Cook for about 10-15 minutes
at 375 deg F and watch they don't burn.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle the salt on them
turning to coat.

Yummy.

Oh, gawd - someone posts an simple request for a recipe, and
some crackpot feels compelled to post scary stories. Tell
you what, why don't we just stop eating EVERYTHING? THAT
will clearly make us healthier, you betcha....

I'll bet THAT was a fun study !

Thanks, this sounds like a good approach. You don't happen
to have an idea on the salt volume in the brine? I like them
lightly salted.

Where did you learn to spell all of those big words.
Probably sitting on your rectum. You might try eating them
instead of stuffing them up your rear.

I think he meant "In the shell" like at the ballpark.

Because it's not EVERYTHING which is dangerous. Only a small
number of foods pose significant risks, and peanuts are at
the top of the list among vegetable foods. Peanuts today are
where tobacco was a hundred years ago -- few people
recognize the danger and the public is kept ignorant.

I still miss the little store on Eddy Street in downtown
Providence that used to sell freshly roasted peanuts.

On Saturdays my friend and I would take the bus downtown,
buy a bag and much all day as we explored the city on a
regular basis. It was something like 25 cents for a bag
which wasn't bad.

I suppose there isn't a market for that anymore but I'll
have to see if I can get some raw peanuts and make my own.

One cup of salt and 1/4 cup sugar to a gallon. This will be
light salt. If it is still too much reduce the cooking time.

With, of course, the minor exception that peanuts have been
consumed by humans for literally thousands of years with no
obvious correlation between their consumption and
significant health problems, and certainly without any
clear causal link between such consumption and any health
problem being established. Besides the study you cited (the
only one I've seen which showed such negative effects), a
search on "peanut health risks" or "peanut cancer" turns up
several studies which have even indicated a possible
REDUCTION in the risk of some cancers from the ingestion of
peanuts and similar foods. Suffice it to say that the
research in this area is
(a) scant and (b) showing mixed results. And yet for
some reason you saw fit to give a warning of dire
consequences to all of us in the "ignorant" public,
in response to a simple inquiry for a roasted
peanut recipe.

Well, thank GAWD we have folks like you who are vigilantly
standing watch over those of us poor slobs who are too
ignorant to take care of ourselves....

...right....

There's Planters Peanut stores spread across the Eastern US
that still do this. They're not $.25 anymore, though.
