Learn Why You Should Never Eat Almonds



Do you love eating almonds? 


Almonds have been part of our diet for centuries and we are sure you have recently eaten them in this week. But did you know that they have harmful side effects as well? 


It’s really strange that you will never hear about how harmful they are to your body.  So today we are going to educate you on the many harmful things almonds can do to your body and health. 


Let’s go deeper into how they can negatively affect your body.

They can interfere with your medications:

If you love almonds you will know about it, if you are a casual eater, you wouldn’t - almonds are rich in manganese. According to
Livestrong.com, every 1 oz. of almonds will have 0.6 milligrams of manganese. 


Normally this wouldn’t hurt but if you already have a diet that is providing your body with appropriate manganese, almonds can cause problems as it will start interacting with your medication.  

 If you are prescribed with laxatives, drugs for blood pressures or are using anti-psychotic drugs, almonds can easily trigger what is known as drug interactions.

Simply put, they will inhibit your medications to be effective to their full potential. 

They can play havoc on you nervous system:


Almonds when consumed in excessive amounts can slow down your nervous system, trigger breathing problems and in severe cases, can be fatal. 


The reason comes down to the bitter almonds, those pesky ones that come along normal ones and literally make you puke. But they are also rich in hydrocyanic acid which is known culprit behind the above mentioned symptoms. 


Hydrocyanic acid is also known prussic acid and is a harmful, colorless poison that is extremely dangerous for human health. 


Trying to lose weight, stop eating almonds NOW: 


If you are working on losing your weight then you need to stop consuming almonds. Each ounce of almonds comes with 163 calories and 14 g of fat! 


You might be thinking that by eating dry fruits like almonds can help you stay away from your cravings but these little buggers can add more to your body than help it to lose some.

So when you plan out your meals, make sure you don’t forget about this little fact. 


Excessive Vitamin E is a “big no-no”: 


Our daily intake of Vitamin E is around 15 mg. However when we are enjoying eating almonds, we can easily exceed this amount and in fact if you eat them excessively, you can easily cross 1000mg. 


If our bodies accumulate excessive Vitamin E, it can cause flatulence, diarrhea, headaches and dizziness and even blurred vision. 


They make bones weak:


Did you know that
almonds are rich in oxalic acid?  Oxalic acid can reduce the rate at which our body absorbs calcium as it binds itself with the calcium along with other minerals in our intestines. 


Since calcium is one of the key components of healthy bones, eating almonds can cause you to have weak and fragile bones. Eating too much can even lead to osteoporosis. 


Almonds make kidney stones: 


 As we stated, almonds are rich in oxalic acid which binds itself to calcium to create calcium oxalate which is the foremost compound that creates kidney stones in our body. So if your diet already has oxalates in it, eating almonds can increase the amount and cause painful stones in your body.


It’s a hybrid nut! 


Recently it has been found that many foods that come to the market are synthetic or have been manipulated by scientists to increase the yield and gain more profit. 


This is alarming as foods that are advertised as organic and healthy, are not as natural and rich in nutrients. Scientists have started to crossbreed two types of almond trees (the Tuono tree and the Nonpareil tree) to create hybrid almonds.  


These new trees are self-pollinating and don’t need bees to create more plants and trees, meaning they are unnatural and will cause harm to your body.



But I love eating almonds and other nuts! What should I do? 


Almonds have been part of our diets for very long and we understand that since the earliest days of your childhood, you have been munching on almonds without any care.

Now that we listed all these side effects of eating almonds, you will be looking for alternatives that don’t harm your body. Luckily for all of us, we have Dr. Sebi’s recommended list of nuts that we can rely on. 


But before we talk about them, let’s find out who Dr. Sebi is and why we are going to list down his list of nuts that you should eat. 


Primarily known for perfecting the mucus less diet, Dr. Sebi offered a chance too many looking to purify their bodies and eat healthy. 



The diet has seen hundreds of people, sharing glowing testimonials where they have said that it has helped them in treating asthma, impotence, diabetes and obesity. While many have also reported absence of sickness and diseases.

Dr.Sebi’s recommend nut list:

We all love to eat nuts and cutting off almonds can be tough. So to help you out, we are going to list down the recommended nuts that you should eat. And like we said, these are recommended by  Dr. Sebi which means they are alkaline and will not cause mucus to build up.

1.      Hemp Seed 

2.      Raw Sesame Seeds

3.      Raw Sesame “Tahini” Butter

4.      Walnuts

5.      Brazil Nuts 



So what’s next for you?


By now you have to be convinced that almonds pose serious threat to healthy living. Now it’s on you as to how you make decisions regarding consumption of almonds. 


If you have been eating almonds and love them, transitioning away from them is going to be hard. However the list of nuts approved by Dr. Sebi are equally delicious, have 2x more benefits and no side effects on your body. 


Just consider hemp seeds from the above list. They are rich in Gamma-Linolenic acid (GLA) which encourages the buildup of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins fundamentally help in smoothing out our muscles, are strong anti-inflammatory and also help in managing high blood pressure, breast pains, skin allergies and more. 


Taking out almonds from your diet is one step towards living healthy life and we urge you to research other foods that you are eating every day to find out whether they have serious risks or not.
