Everything in moderation except moderation!Hey BL, you said you eat nuts for breakfast didn't you, because they are a "healthy" food? Have you ever eaten a whole bunch of nuts at one sitting? It can make you really sick if you do, even without a peanut allergy... Don't ask me how I know this, cause you don't want to know. All I have to say about it is my wife does not allow me to buy Costco sized nuts anymore... I. can't. stop. myself... Anyhow, the point being that in small doses something can be fine and healthy, but when we over do it we can poison ourselves. Ever drank too much water too fast? Same thing. Knew a guy when I was serving over in Afghanistan who got water poisoning because we were forced to do what's called "forced hydration". We were made to chug a canteen of water every hour on the hour. The problem happened that he kept drinking water in between those times... I think he just wanted a way out so he could go home. Anyhow, you can see my point of too much of a good thing is bad.
But yah, my morning nuts is just a small, kid-sized bowl, and no peanuts. Thanks for sparing us a description of what happens when one ODs on nuts.
