Youve mentioned that a daily intake of 2550 grams of nuts seems to be health promoting; how many nuts does this weight correspond to?
A health-promoting daily intake of 25–50grams of nuts is about one small handful. This corresponds to approximately 25–50 almonds, 12–24 cashews, 5–10 Brazil nuts, 30–60 shelled peanuts, or 12–24 walnuts. As mentioned in the answer to Q. 5, simply adding nuts to your existing diet is not appropriate. If you do not already eat nuts, but you decide to include them in your diet in future, this should be at the expense of other, less nutritious foods. In addition to snacking on nuts, you can also use them in cooking, so you share the benefits with friends or family. Adding them to your favourite stir-fry or salad, crushing them on desserts, and adding slivers to breakfast cereal will improve not only the taste and texture of these meals, but also their nutritional value.
