"Almonds can reduce heart disease, weight, risk of diabetes, as well as other illnesses/ diseases. Health benefits are myriad, almonds can also reduce constipation, respiratory issues, anemia, impotency, as well as diabetes. Moreover, almonds can reduce mortality rate by 20%. Almonds are mostly produced in California, which makes up 82% of the almond production globally. California, in addition, controls the almond market, the California Almond Board. However, in 2001, 29 people fell ill after eating almonds produced by The Almond Board; in 2004, one person had died." Almonds can lead to death if ingested by those allergic the to nut. Almonds are not recommended, or beneficial to eat if anyone has an allergic reaction towards the nut. There are substitutes for almonds that still supply the assistance with colon cancer, heart disease, diarrhea, and other diagnoses reduced by almonds. Almonds have been proven to prevent colon cancer. Scientists did a test on rodents, in which they were all fed different types of almonds and control diets. Then, they injected azoxymethane twice once a week into the rodents. Azoxymethane is a carcinogen inserted into rodents; a carcinogen is a substance that is able to cause cancer. After 26 weeks, the animals were injected with bromodeoxyuridine, an excellent maker of cell and organ reproduction, for 1 hour. The procedure was done to sacrifice the rodents. Moreover, the colons were examined for ACF and cell turnover. What scientist had found out was that Whole Almond ACF and Al were a little bit lower than the wheat bran and cellulose diet, which were -30 and -40%. While the almond meal, Almond oil ACF and almond meal Ll were only significant vs. cellulose. Raw almonds and almond oil have been considered to be good for the brain. Having a few almonds every day helps improve the memory and concentration, especially in children. Albeit, genetically modified organisms (food in this case) are tested on animals, the effects are able to cause issues to the human body. For example, GMO's can cause allergenic effects by chemicals, as well as drugs, used. Chemicals can also be toxic, varying on what they are, and may cause infertility. The hormones/ drugs inserted in organisms are able to spread to others, most specifically those that have eaten the organism. Thus, diseases and terminal illnesses are likely to occur. Almonds are not raw, and are sterilized. Almonds are steamed at high temperatures. These temperatures can be as high as 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Though, this process is done to ensure that the almonds to not carry any bacteria, but there are other ways almonds are sterilized. The USDA has ordered almonds to be inserted with propylene oxide (PPO), which is also a carcinogen. Fruits are also inserted with propylene, however, some fruits have it naturally. Such, for example, is the apple. Propylene oxide, when in contact with oxygen, creates a chemical reaction that causes a fruit to brown. Most countries have banned this process, but not all. Companies tend to mislabel their almonds as 'raw' to fool people into purchasing them, which leads to the reason why some almonds are not safe to eat. Bitter almonds have toxic acid inside them called, 'prussic acid', which is also known as hydrogen cyanide. Eating bitter almonds is like planning your own funeral. |
