While \u201cnut\u201d is in the name, peanuts are technically legumes. As opposed to nuts like almonds and walnuts, which grow on trees, peanuts grow underground.<\/p>\n
Along those lines, many refer to peanuts as ground nuts. Some even refer to them as the gouber pea, ground pea, pindar nut, earth-nut, ground bean, or even goober.<\/p>\n
Regardless of what they\u2019re called, in the United States, peanuts (and peanut butter) are by far the most popular \u201cnut,\u201d comprising 67% of all nut consumption.<\/p>\n
But what do peanuts do to your body? Are they healthy? Are they fattening? Here\u2019s the low-down on this pseudo-nut.<\/p>\n

Having said that, peanuts contain more protein than any other nut.<\/p>\n With 77% of calories coming from fat, peanuts are a high-fat, calorie-dense food. 50% of the fat in peanuts is of the monounsaturated variety, while 32% is polyunsaturated fats, nearly all of which are omega-6 fatty acids.<\/p>\n Hang on to that, as we\u2019ll be coming back to that shortly.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n While peanuts are often recognized for their fat, protein, and vitamin E content, there\u2019s more to this legumes story than can be found above.<\/p>\n Believe it or not, peanuts contain the antioxidant resveratrol, which is commonly associated with red wine and the skin of red grapes.<\/p>\n Resveratrol, which belongs to a category of polyphenols called stilbenoids, is produced by the peanut plant when exposed to stress (e.g., infected by a microbialpathogen).<\/p>\n Peanut stilbenoids have been considered the major sustaining factor of the plant\u2019s resistance to disease.<\/p>\n The health benefits of resveratrol may be many and have been well-established.<\/p>\n\r\n EDITORS NOTE:<\/strong> Knowing what and how much to eat for weight loss is critical towards your success.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not sure how to calculate your calories in order to burn fat, Get Your Free Fat Burning Calorie Calculator For Quick Weight Loss & Burn More Fat Than You Thought Possible In 30 Days=> Fat Burning Calculator<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n A number of studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory activity of resveratrol and its ability to promote a healthy inflammatory response.<\/p>\n Resveratrol has also been purported to prevent obesity, and several studies have demonstrated the anti-obesity super powers of this polyphenol.<\/p>\n For instance, research has shown that resveratrol decreases the synthesis of fat and reduces the uptake of fat by the body\u2019s fat cells.<\/p>\n In addition, resveratrol increases the body\u2019s ability to burn fat for fuel (in the muscles and liver).<\/p>\n Interestingly, resveratrol has been shown to \u201cbrown\u201d white adipose tissue (i.e., body fat), and along these lines, it also seems to increase metabolic rate and calorie expenditure via activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis.<\/p>\n Simply put, BAT is unique in that it burns body fat to produce heat (i.e., thermogenesis), and as a result, BAT It may also come as a surprise that peanuts have a higher polyphenol (a category of plant-based antioxidants that includes stilbenes) content than almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, macadamia nuts, and pine nuts.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, peanuts have a higher total antioxidant capacity than Brazil nuts, cashews, macadamias, and pine nuts.7<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve ever taken time to review the ingredients and nutrition information on the various containers of peanut butter, you already know that, while mostly peanuts, peanut butter can be much more than that.<\/p>\n Of course, there are a few brands that only contain peanuts, but those are few and far between.<\/p>\n Most peanut butter, particularly the popular brands, contain peanuts along with the addition of sugar, fat, and salt.<\/p>\n This is critical to highlight. No, it\u2019s not that the amount of added sugar is going to make you fat. No, it\u2019s not that the amount of salt is necessarily a threat to cardiovascular wellness. No, it\u2019s not that the amount of added poor-quality fat is enough to ravage your health (unless it\u2019s partially hydrogenated oil; more on that below).<\/p>\n Rather, it\u2019s because this trio of ingredients, provided in precise amounts, that are known as the \u201cthree pillars of processed foods.\u201d<\/p>\n In his book Sugar Salt Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist for the New York Times Michael Moss discusses how food manufacturers rely on salt, sugar, and fat to \u201coverride our dietary self-control\u201d through foods \u201cso perfectly engineered to compel overconsumption.\u201d<\/p>\n With sugar and fat intake, brain pleasure centers light up in functional magnetic resonance imaging studies\u2014just as they would with an addictive drug, such as cocaine.<\/p>\n Increasing the amount of sugar intake leads to a \u201cbliss point\u201d of maximum taste satisfaction, disposing you to crave sugar in a virtual addiction, Moss describes.<\/p>\n Moss stresses that \u201cfat is an energy colossus. It packs 9 calories into each gram, more than twice the caloric load of either sugar or protein\u201d.<\/p>\n For fat, instead of a \u201cbliss point,\u201d there is a quite potent \u201cmouthfeel\u201d (dryness, gumminess, and moisture release). That is, adding fat drives consumption for a number of reasons.<\/p>\n\r\n <\/a>EDITORS NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0 The thyroid is the most metabolically active gland in your entire body.\u00a0 If your thyroid is functioning at full capacity, weight-loss becomes relatively easy.\u00a0 If it's not, however -- which is the case for most -- losing even a single pound can become seemingly impossible.<\/p>\n Learn which 14 common foods BOOST your thyroid and flatten your belly in this 27 Page FREE Report\u2026 Today we\u2019re GIVING it away 100% FREE!<\/p>\n => Click Here For The FREE Report!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n On one hand, from an evolutionary standpoint, the body is designed to seek out calorie-dense foods.<\/p>\n On the other hand, adding fat to processed foods enhances sensory characteristics like mouthfeel, texture, and overall tastiness of foods. Simply put, adding fat to foods makes them more enjoyable.<\/p>\n When it comes to salt, says Moss, the food processing industry is completely hooked.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a \u201cmiracle\u201d ingredient that solves all their problems. On one hand, salt provides a flavor burst; on the other hand, salt serves as a preservative so \u201cfoods\u201d can stay on the shelves for months.<\/p>\n It also has the capability to mask \u201coff-notes\u201d in flavors that are not inherent to processed foods. Like sugar, salt has \u201caddictive qualities.\u201d<\/p>\n Ask yourself this: Have you ever found that it\u2019s incredibly difficult to limit portion sizes when it comes to peanut butter? Better said, have you ever found that it\u2019s incredibly easy to overeat peanut butter?<\/p>\n You wouldn\u2019t be alone if you said that you\u2019re the type of person who\u2019s been known to eat a half jar (or even an entire jar)\u2026and still want more.<\/p>\n What you may not have realized is that most commercial peanut butter has the very same qualities as potato chips, pizza, French fries, and chocolate, which are commonly regarded as the most \u201caddictive\u201d foods.<\/p>\n Bottom line is this: If you\u2019re going to choose peanut butter, your best bet is to choose natural peanut butter with the only ingredient being peanuts\u2014NO added sugar, salt, or fat.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n As mentioned, peanut butter is not just peanuts, and one of the ingredients that is sometimes included is partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, which helps improve shelf life and make peanut butter smooth and creamy. Partially hydrogenated oils are the primary dietary source of trans fatty acids.<\/p>\n Before delving into this topic further, it\u2019s far less common to see partially hydrogenated oils in peanut butter than it once was (for reasons explained below).<\/p>\n What you\u2019re more likely to see, however, is fully hydrogenated vegetable oil, which are used for the same purpose but do not contain trans fats.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not completely familiar with trans fatty acids, a good starting point is the recent determination by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that partially hydrogenated oils are not safe for human consumption.<\/p>\n Along those lines, the FDA will no longer permit the use of partially hydrogenated oils in processed foods.<\/p>\n As good as that news is, it\u2019s important to point out that the FDA set a compliance period of three years for food companies to remove partially hydrogenated oils from processed foods.<\/p>\n Nutrition manufacturers have until June 18, 2018, to ensure their products no longer contain partially hydrogenated oils.<\/p>\n In the meantime, you still need to be vigilant about reading nutrition labels, including both the Nutrition Facts Panel and the ingredients list. In the case of the former, food manufacturers are required to list the amount of trans fats per serving.<\/p>\n Having said that if the amount of trans fat is below 0.5 grams per serving, manufacturers can label the product as containing ZERO.<\/p>\n However, because trans fats are detrimental to health at ANY level, it\u2019s imperative to read the ingredients list. If you see \u201cpartially hydrogenated vegetable oil\u201d listed, please step away from the health bomb.<\/p>\n Nutritionally speaking, trans fatty acids serve no purpose, and as Erin Russell, Assistant Editor of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, puts it, \u201cPartially hydrogenated oils are entirely artificial and would not be in our food supply if they weren\u2019t economically Why are partially hydrogenated oils so attractive to the food industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n Production of partially hydrogenated vegetable oils was developed because of low cost, long shelf life, and suitability for commercial frying and transport.<\/p>\n Many restaurants use partially hydrogenated oils when they fry foods because these types of oils, which are the major dietary source of industrial-produced trans fats, can be used many times in commercial fryers.<\/p>\n Further, partially hydrogenated oils have traditionally been added to many processed foods (such as peanut butter) to help increase shelf life and keep flavors stable.<\/p>\n The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends that consumption of trans fats is as low as possible. In essence, industrial-produced trans fats are like tobacco in the sense that they\u2019re not beneficial at any dose.<\/p>\n For instance, the IOM cites evidence that any intake of industrial-produced trans fats (above zero) will increase one\u2019s risk for cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n But the problems don\u2019t start and stop with an increased risk of heart disease. In fact, there\u2019s evidence that suggests that a number of negative health outcomes are correlated with trans fat intake, including weight gain and obesity.<\/p>\n Trans fats have also been associated with an unhealthy inflammatory response, endothelial dysfunction, and decreased insulin sensitivity.<\/p>\n Along the lines of weight gain, trans fat intake has been associated with abdominal obesity.<\/p>\n Even in the absence of excessive caloric intake, controlled animal studies have shown that trans fats are an independent factor for weight gain, including enhanced storage of abdominal fat.<\/p>\n In one study published in the journal Obesity Surgery, Brazilian researchers discovered that there was a higher content of trans fatty acids in the visceral fat of obese folks, suggesting that trans fats may be preferentially stored as deep abdominal fat.<\/p>\n This is particularly worrisome because visceral fat (i.e., abdominal obesity) is associated with a laundry list of negative health outcomes and a \u201cconstellation of metabolic abnormalities,\u201d including:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n As mentioned above, about 32% of the fat in peanuts are polyunsaturated fats, nearly all of which are omega-6 fatty acids.<\/p>\n For instance, a one-ounce serving of peanuts contains about 4400mg of omega-6 fatty acids. On the flip side, the same serving provides less than 1mg of omega-3 fatty acids.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re keeping score at home, that\u2019s a 4400 to 1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats. Why is that important you ask?<\/p>\n Experts estimate that throughout human history the optimal ratio for consumption of omega-6 fatty acids (e.g., linoleic acid) to omega-3 fatty acids (e.g., alpha linolenic acid, DHA, EPA) was about 1:1.<\/p>\n With the contemporary diet, this ratio has shifted dramatically in favor omega-6 fatty acids to 20:1.<\/p>\n While there are multiple explanations for this heavy imbalance of omega fatty acids\u2014including a decrease in omega-3 fatty acid consumption from freshwater fish\u2014researchers attribute this in large part to the ubiquity of refined vegetable and seed oils (e.g., soybean oil) present in the Western diet.<\/p>\n In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers from the National Institutes of Health estimated that the average person\u2019s consumption of soybean oil increased more than 1000-fold from the early 1900s to the beginning of the 21st century.<\/p>\n This is important for a number of reasons. For instance, these omega-6 fats compete with omega-3 fats for \u201cparking spots\u201d within the cell membranes of the body.<\/p>\n It\u2019s this dramatic increase in linoleic acid (a type of omega-6 fat) that has led to corresponding decreases of key omega-3 fats EPA and DHA. Along those lines, take a look at the laundry list of benefits associated with these two essential omega-3 fatty acids (that you\u2019re missing out on by over consuming omega-6-rich vegetable and seed oils):<\/p>\n Balancing these essential fats is also very important when it comes to promoting a healthy inflammatory response.<\/p>\n For example, omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory effects (e.g., suppress IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, and IL-6) whereas omega-6 fatty acids do not.37 Even more, studies show that omega-6 fats promote inflammation, particularly when they are consumed in excess of omega-3 fats.<\/p>\n Researchers attribute this imbalanced intake of omega fats to an increase in virtually all inflammation-related conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid What\u2019s more, excess omega-6 consumption may also accelerate aging. As a normal cellular process, telomere length shortens with age.<\/p>\n However, accelerated telomere shortening is associated with early onset of many age-related health problems, including coronary heart disease, heart failure, diabetes, increased cancer risk, osteoporosis, and decreased lifespan.<\/p>\n Excess, omega-6 intake has also been shown to be associated with shorter telomere lengths and accelerated aging.<\/p>\n Conversely, research has shown that diets rich in the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA can protect, and in some cases, lengthen telomeres, and there\u2019s some evidence that shows supplementation with EPA and DHA increases the activity of telomerase, which is an enzyme that maintains, lengthens, and restores telomeres.<\/p>\n Along those lines, it appears that the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats may be where the magic happens: Telomere lengths increase with decreasing n6:n3 ratios.<\/p>\n In other words, increasing intake of omega-3 fats (through supplementation and eating fatty fish) and concomitantly reducing intake of processed foods (which contain refined omega-6rich vegetable\/seed oils) may have a positive impact on cellular aging.<\/p>\n\r\n <\/a>\ud83e\udd53This Crazy Bacon & Butter Keto Book Is Going Viral\u203c\ufe0f<\/p>\n Get yours here: Bacon and Butter Ketogenic Diet<\/a> <==<\/p>\n This book \ud83d\udcd7 is jam-packed with 148 delicious ketogenic recipes\ud83e\udd24 that will help you burn fat like crazy.<\/p>\n Even stubborn belly and thigh fat won't stand a chance because your body will have NO CHOICE but to burn that fat for fuel!<\/p>\n And today we\u2019re GIVING it away 100% FREE!<\/p>\n +1000 \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 reviews<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n In a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, French researchers assessed the effects of a 10-week diet modification to decrease the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats in healthy subjects on various health parameters, including inflammatory markers.<\/p>\n The researchers found that diet intervention (i.e., decreased omega-6 and increased omega-3 fatty acids) resulted in significant reductions in TNF-alpha and \u201cmultiple favorable effects on the metabolic and inflammatory profiles.\u201d<\/p>\n Additionally, the participants demonstrated significant increases in the hormone adiponectin, which is associated with enhanced insulin sensitivity.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, adiponectin is considered an important fat-burning hormone, as it has been shown to facilitate fat burning (i.e., fat oxidation) in both muscles and the liver.<\/p>\n Along those lines, the 10-week diet modification did, in fact, result in a significant increase in fat oxidation.<\/p>\n This finding is consistent with previous work in which researchers found that supplementation with 6 grams of omega-3 fatty acids for just 3 weeks significantly increased fat oxidation and resulted in 2.5 times greater fat loss compared to when participants supplemented with an equivalent amount of visible fat, which included vegetable oils high in omega-6 fatty acids (e.g., sunflower and peanut oils).<\/p>\n With that said, you\u2019re not entirely to blame for the increase in omega-6 fatty acid consumption. In fact, advice to substitute industrial vegetable oils rich in these polyunsaturated fatty acids for animal fats high in saturated fatty acids has been a cornerstone of worldwide dietary guidelines for the past half century.<\/p>\n A good example is the long-standing recommendation to substitute margarine (laced with omega-6 fats and trans fats) for butter.<\/p>\n However, in a study published in the British Medical Journal in 2013, a group of researchers from the National Institutes of Health found that this advice is heavily misguided, and they concluded that \u201csubstituting dietary linoleic acid [i.e., vegetable and seed oils] in place of saturated fats increased the rates of death from all causes, coronary heart disease, and cardiovascular disease.\u201d<\/p>\n While omega-6 fatty acids are indeed important, a deficiency is nearly impossible, as you\u2019ll get more than enough of these essential fats when you consume a diet rich in minimally-processed, nutrient-dense whole foods.<\/p>\n You can start to reduce your consumption of omega-6 fatty acids by eliminating processed foods made with the following industrial vegetable and seed oils, which you\u2019ll find in all kinds of packaged goods (e.g., salad dressings, sauces, breads, baked goods, prepared foods, and more):<\/p>\n Percentage of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in common industrial vegetable oils:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Generally speaking, peanuts can be considered quite healthy. However, peanuts tend to be one of the greatest dietary sources of aflatoxins, a type of mycotoxin, which are toxic or carcinogenic secondary metabolites produced by fungi that infect foods such as peanut, corn, and grains.<\/p>\n In other words, fungi such as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus colonize peanut plants and produce these toxic compounds.<\/p>\n In the short-term, humans are relatively resistant to the effects of aflatoxins; however, what happens with long-term exposure is uncertain at this point. Some human studies have shown that aflatoxins may cause adverse immune system effects, liver cancer, and stunted growth in children.<\/p>\n Having said that, one study showed an 89% reduction in aflatoxin concentration during the production of peanut butter.<\/p>\n Further, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has strict requirements and stringent testing for aflatoxins in the food supply.<\/p>\n For instance, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) administers Minimum Quality and Handling Standards for Domestic and Imported Peanuts Marketed in the United States.<\/p>\n The regulation requires domestically marketed peanuts for human consumption to be analyzed for aflatoxin by a USDA or USDA-approved lab. AMS consults with the Peanut Standards Board on program requirements.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Studies have consistently shown that nut intake moderates appetite after consumption.<\/p>\n Specifically, well-controlled human trials have shown that eating almonds and peanuts suppresses hunger and desire to eat and increases fullness. Studies have shown that after as little as four days of including peanuts increases feelings of satisfaction and levels of fullness.<\/p>\n These are very important qualities when it comes to weight management. Reducing hunger can help increase the duration between meals.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a decreased desire to eat can help prevent eating when not truly hungry. On top of that, greater levels of satiety (feelings of fullness and satisfaction) may lead to smaller meal sizes.<\/p>\n Many people shy away from nuts because they are calorie-dense. Interestingly, studies show that nut intake results in a strong compensatory dietary response.<\/p>\n In other words people tend to \u201ccompensate\u201d by eating fewer calories in subsequent meals. Although the numbers vary, it\u2019s suggested that the majority of calories provided by nuts are offset by spontaneous adjustments in one\u2019s complete diet.<\/p>\n Somewhat surprisingly, one study showed that peanut butter resulted in greater dietary compensation than whole peanuts, In one study, participants who were instructed to add peanuts to their diet compensated for 66% of the calories provided by nuts. What\u2019s more, the amount of weight gained was substantially lower (over 3 times lower) than what would have been expected.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Overall, research shows that nut consumption (including peanut consumption) is consistently associated with lower body weight. Not only that, adherence to moderateand high-fat weight-loss diets compared to low-fat weight-loss diets is better. Along those lines, the nutrient profile of moderate-fat diets tends to be superior.<\/p>\n In a study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, researchers found that peanut intake was associated with a significantly lower body mass index (BMI), a ratio of weight to height that is used as an indicator of health, in women with a similar trend in men.<\/p>\n Interestingly, when total calorie intake is not controlled, studies that add nuts to the normal diets of free-living folks have shown that nut consumption does not lead to weight gain.<\/p>\n Even more, several studies assessing the role of nut consumption in weight-maintenance programs have resulted in a decrease in body weight.<\/p>\n While peanuts and tree nuts are commonly regarded as high-fat, calorie-dense foods, what many don\u2019t recognize is that the body does not efficiently absorb all the fat and A number of studies have looked at this phenomenon, and all showed substantial increases in the body\u2019s excretion of fat (and calories). For instance, one trial showed that 17.8% and 7% of the fat from whole peanuts and peanut butter, respectively, was excreted.<\/p>\n In the Nurses\u2019 Health Study, consumption of peanut butter was inversely associated with poor glycemic control. For instance, women who consumed peanut butter more than four times a week had better glycemic control and insulin sensitivity compared with In a recent study published in the British Journal of Nutrition, researchers found that consuming peanut butter or peanuts for breakfast can promote glycemic control throughout the day, even after eating a high-carb lunch.<\/p>\n In addition to this \u201cSecond Meal Effect,\u201d peanuts and peanut butter resulted in a significant reduction in the desire to eat for up to 12 hours, the result of a significant increase in the secretion of the hormones PYY, GLP-1, and CCK, which help suppress appetite.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n In the Nurses\u2019 Health Study, researchers subdivided nut intake between all tree nuts and peanuts and peanut butter.<\/p>\n Consumption of peanut products was associated with a decreased relative risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Participants who consumed peanuts two or more times per week had a relative risk of CHD of 0.66, while for other nuts the relative risk for consumption of two or more times per week was 0.79.<\/p>\n A recent report of the same study looking at a subgroup of women shows similar findings, as consumption of at least five servings per week of nuts or peanut butter was significantly associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, with a relative risk of In a recent well-controlled 30-week intervention study, researchers examined the effects of peanut consumption on blood lipids in healthy adults.<\/p>\n They found that daily peanut consumption resulted in significant reductions in total cholesterol and triglycerides. Maintaining healthy levels of cholesterol and triglycerides are important variables for cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n According to Purdue researcher, Dr. Richard Mattes, \u201cPeanuts are the most widely consumed nut in this country. They are a rich source of monounsaturated fatty acids, magnesium, folate, vitamin E, copper, arginine, and fiber, all of which have cardiovascular disease risk-reducing properties.\u201d<\/p>\n\r\n <\/a>EDITORS NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0 You've probably been told over and over again that \"breakfast is the most important meal of the day\", but truth is, there are ELEVEN specific breakfast foods that you absolutely MUST avoid if you ever want to have a flat stomach.<\/p>\n You see, these rogue breakfast foods wreak havoc on your body's fat-burning hormones and quickly bring weight loss to a dead stop -- even though you're trying to eat healthy!
