What are your thoughts on nuts? Almonds, Macadamias, etc.

Good / bad? Roasted or raw? Nut butters? PUFA?

All thoughts welcome. Particularly interested from a slow oxidiser point of view. TEI say not to consume almonds yet Dr Wilson says that roasted almonds butter is fine...

I would say here and there some macadamia nuts, almonds or cashews are ok, but eating them in a huge quantity like many vegan, paleo etc. people is not healthy at all..

Anyone else? I made some homemade organic macadamia nut and grey sea salt butter this evening - delicious, I just say!

I wasn't into that whole anti-PUFA/Ray-Peat thing (I only read about it after becoming ill).
I only eat almonds, pecans, and or peanuts sometimes. But I do throw some of them into a protein shake for fats and fiber. I love hazelnut chocolate.
-Could go for some crepes rite now but it's 3.12am and nothing's open and if it was, they'd be crappy. Crepes with hazelnut dark chocolate, banana, chocolate.
-I actually don't eat any of that crap 80-99.5% of the time, but feeling food cravings rite now (usually I feel nothing, period... but also sometimes everything).
I can't eat several other nuts/ allergic.
-Large quantities of even tolerated (for me) nuts is not good. They are combined food sources, but a bit more in one day won't do anything too bad.
-Too much of peanut butter (need to up cals at times and also fat keeps me satiated) causes stomach problems.
-Almond butter is very strange to me but I have had a lot... homemade is best for all this. Organic can be good too, I believe.
