what is truly OK is everything has to be taken in moderation.

It is written that we become unclean not by what we but in our mouths
but what comes out of our mouths by way of our tongues.

Chung is nuts and does not know. Actually peanut consumption is beneficial
for cardiovascular disease risk factors, including serum lipids. Just look
at the Harvard meta-analysis below.

However, I do agree with Bill how pointed out that peanuts often contain
mold - more specifically, aflatoxin, which is a liver toxin. That is why I
think that many other nuts are safer than peanuts.

Nut consumption and risk of coronary heart disease: a review of
epidemiologic evidence.

Avenue, Boston, MA 02115, USA.

Traditionally nuts have been perceived as an unhealthy food because of their
high fat content. However, recent accumulative evidence suggests that
frequent consumption of nuts may be protective against coronary heart
disease (CHD). So far, five large prospective cohort studies (the Adventist
Health Study, the Iowa Women Health Study, the Nurses' Health Study, the
Physicians' Health Study, and the CARE Study) have examined the relation
between nut consumption and the risk of CHD and all have found an inverse
association. In addition, several clinical studies have observed beneficial
effects of diets high in nuts (including walnuts, peanuts, almonds, and
other nuts) on blood lipids. The beneficial effects of nut consumption
observed in clinical and epidemiologic studies underscore the importance of
distinguishing different types of fat. Most fats in nuts are mono- and
polyunsaturated fats that lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level.
Based on the data from the Nurses' Health Study, we estimated that
substitution of the fat from 1 ounce of nuts for equivalent energy from
carbohydrate in an average diet was associated with a 30% reduction in CHD
risk and the substitution of nut fat for saturated fat was associated with
45% reduction in risk. Given the strong scientific evidence for the
beneficial effects of nuts, it seems justifiable to move nuts to a more
prominent place in the United States Department of Agriculture Food Guide
Pyramid. Regular nut consumption can be recommended in the context of a
healthy and balanced diet. PMID: 11122711

Correct.

A truthful answer, dear Francis Poon.
