Plus, once you heat (or roast) raw nuts and seeds, the fats they contain
are damaged and no longer as beneficial for you in the same ways as they
are raw (Peanut butter
is the
exception to this
rule since it
is a legume — not a nut — and should never
be eaten raw.)
The vast majority of Americans
are overweight and most would therefore benefit from this type of
eating regimen (adrenal - fatigued individuals
are perhaps an
exception to this
rule).
