Worth reading just to learn of the existence of "activated cashews"
Our enzyme-rich, activated, and dehydrated cashews are a mineral-dense protein. Pure, alkaline water awakens the nuts' dormant properties, increasing digestibility and micronutrient, vitamin, and enzyme count. These raw, activated, bio-available nuts are a low-glycemic source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
As well as a product for sale at infowars that makes fun of Alex Jones "making us fat, sick, and stupid" (an Animal House gloss).

- colechristensen 3y agoProcessing corn with alkali actually does improve its nutrition, maybe there’s something real going on here too? I wouldn’t automatically discount it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtamalization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtamalization
- nkozyra 3y ago> I wouldn’t automatically discount it Of course, but that's sort of the crux of the supplement business - take any substance that has any study that shows potential benefit, pump it up as the secret magic substance and peddle it with no real oversight.
- digging 3y agoIt isn't that a liar can't say something true, it's just that you know they are willing to say something untrue to manipulate you. So the correct response is to automatically discount what they say until it's verified.
- genter 3y agoNot sure what your point is. It's well established that soaking nuts and seeds so they begin to sprout is healthier. I realize that it's written with a marketing slant, but it's not wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprouting#Nutrition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprouting#Nutrition
- otterley 3y agoI'm trying to understand how the link you provided supports your claim. What is the supporting text, and how does the quote from Goop above relate?
- freedomben 3y agoSure it does: > "The desirable nutritional changes that occur during sprouting are mainly due to the breakdown of complex compounds into a more simple form, transformation into essential constituents and breakdown of nutritionally undesirable constituents. This is a reason why sprouts are also called pre-digested foods."[12]
- schmichael 3y ago> pre-digested foods This implies that digestion does the same thing already and saves you a step?
- freedomben 3y agosort of. It's not really a binary yes or no on whether it's digested. Especially with seeds it's a little complicated because they have often evolved to survive digestion (especially where they spread by animals pooping them out in a physically different location than they originally grew). Some people can digest them better than others, but sprouting the seeds will cause them to morph from digestive-resistant seed form to nutrient-rich tiny plant, and make the nutrients more accessible to most people. It also (subjectively) improves the taste, which can be a nice bonus
- seattle_spring 3y agoDehydrated cashews are definitely not going to sprout...
- genter 3y agoNo, but soaking is going to break down chemicals like phytic acid that lock up nutrients.
- surfingdino 3y ago"Pure, alkaline water" ... so is it pure or is it alkaline?
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 3y agoIt's pure(ly) alkaline (minerals in the )water (and maybe other stuff, too).
- Modified3019 3y agoBrings me back to the “activated almonds” /fit/ meme: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/139/802/964.png https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/139/802/964... The above picture is apparently not satire, but entirely genuine.
- gumby 3y agoSoaked and dehydrated. And activated…like charcoal?
