    Default Is there a downside to eating Almonds?

    So I'm home for break and I'm rummaging through my house to find something to eat. My choices aren't great health wise until I stumble upon a giant bag of unsalted almonds from Cosco. Curiously I check out the health facts:

    -Low in Saturated Fat, High in Poly/Monosaturated Fat
    -No Sodium
    -High Fiber
    -High Protein
    -Very little bad carbs

    So tell me health experts, is there anything I should be worried about when I eat too many almonds? I mean, they seems too good... they taste good and are good for you.

    Thanks for entertaining my random post.

    I guess not, I was going to say salt but they are unsalted.

    So,,,,,HAVE FUN

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    The skin gets stuck in your teeth. Aside from that, you should be good to go.

    Good eatin'. I enjoy them, have been buying the unsalted "baker's" bags for snacking for ages now. Cheaper, and as the OP wrote, not many downsides. Moderation is still good, as they do contain a bit o' fat. Mmm, now I want some.

    Cyanide? Got to eat *a lot* of almonds before that will become a problem... by that time you'll be wondering why you can no longer get out through the door to buy some more almonds.
