According to Joel Fuhrman, MD, it is not nuts that are healthy, but seeds that are eaten raw. This includes things like sunflower, sesame and chia seeds. Peanuts is a bit different because it is a legume, but Fuhrman does include beans and lentils on his healthy list. He even promotes healthy eating using the acronym GOMBBS: Greens, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries, Beans, and Seeds which you should eat every day. But roasted peanuts, like any roasted nuts, have acrylamides which are bad. Better to boil the raw peanuts in a stew.
