Is there a downside to eating Almonds?

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.

And would the cyanide really be what kills you in this event?

Keeps amazing me that people watch the back for calories and fibers and various fats, the human body is no rolex clockwork just eat what tastes good and don't worry so much, unless you want to become a superhero of course but that's kinda gay. Health specialists should be shot on sight, total bull

I agree with the Dutch on this matter.

If you are worried about the fat content of almonds and you are under the age of sixty, perhaps you should consider such exercises as 'standing', 'elevation of the elbow above desk level' or other strenuous physical participation in the human race.

I agree with this statement, then again it is one of the few statements from Fragony I actually understand.

I guess I'll bite. So eating a double cheeseburger from McDonalds or a handful of almonds doesn't make a difference? Eating a pound of butter or a salad is the same thing? Either one will have the same effect on your body in the short term? I'm not following.
