Peanuts and diabetes

Kamalakar Pasupuleti said:

The fats in peanuts comprise mostly in the form of monounsaturated and
polyunsaturated fats which are healthy for heart . Is it good for
diabetics too ? In India some people prefer to eat the boiled peanuts .
Which is better , roasted / boiled ?

Kam

afaik, the primary bad fats are processed fats
(aka trans fats), and damaged fats (it is easiest
to damage the low smoke point vegetable fats

fwiw, i've never tried boiled peanuts

and when they say "roasted" (even dry roasted),
what do they really do in the processing process?

best way i know of is to do your own (dry roasting
in your oven, or boil them in distilled water)
and *never* buy commercial "roasted" or "boiled"
peanuts. i personally do not like raw peanuts,
but that is likely the safest/healthiest option

raw nuts taste good to me and are satiating
(peanuts are a legume; i like a decent peanut
butter as a bedtime snack when my b/g is low)

Problem with peanuts: you don't know what you're eating. They can be
high in aflatoxin, or low. The lectins in peanuts are very
atherogenic. Knock this "monounsaturated fats are good" nonsense out
of your mind. It is just the latest nutritional bit of science
fiction. Monounsaturated fatty acids have one double bond, and if you
cook it while exposed to air, and it doesn't have a lot of antioxidant
cover, you've got free radical damage on your plate, literally. That
is basic chemistry, not fantasy. Unless you've got a chemistry lab and
do the required experiments, you will not know what you are eating.
However, if you eat coconut oil that tastes fresh, you know you are
eating something healthy. Big difference.

Contrary to all the nonsense posted on this THREAD, peanuts and
especially peanut oil are NOT healthy for you despite their
monounsaturated fat content.

This is a well research fact that is well known among research
scientists. Obviously, there are not too many well knowledgeable people
on smn. 🙁

Peanuts are not nuts. And, raw peanuts are also toxic precisely
because cooking has not destroyed these toxins.

Well , the best way is to eat and experiment whether it is doing
any good and if not stop . I find it creates lot of heaviness after
consuming about 30 pieces of peanuts . What does it indicate ?

Peanuts, and peanut oil, are great for laying atherosclerotic fiber
down inside your arteries. I am rather tired writing about this same
subject so many times on these ngs. You can search Google groups for my
earlier posts.

We eat at least a cupfull of Peanuts and other nuts a day and don't
have no problems.

How do you know? Peanuts have saturated fat, how do you know
what's inside your arteries?
