Peanuts are a very poor quality food ("crap food") that should be avoided to preserve one's health and physique.

Peanuts are sometimes labeled as a "bad food" due to their lectin or omega-6 fatty acid content. However, robust scientific evidence shows the exact opposite. Meta-analyses of large-scale observational studies, such as the one published in BMC Medicine (Aune et al., 2016), demonstrate that regular peanut consumption is associated with better cardiovascular health and a reduction in overall mortality. Furthermore, a recent randomized clinical trial (RCT), the ARISTOTLE study (2022) from the University of Barcelona, confirmed that daily consumption of peanuts or peanut butter improves vascular function in young adults without causing weight gain. Regarding the lectin argument, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health points out that roasting destroys almost all of these proteins, eliminating any potential digestive discomfort. Likewise, mold toxins (aflatoxins) are rigorously monitored by food safety agencies to ensure perfectly safe levels in commercial products. Except in cases of a proven allergy, peanuts therefore remain a superb nutritional ally, rich in protein and healthy fats.
