"You shouldn't eat anything you can't pronounce"
She drinks almond milk.
Quote from Wikipedia: "Almonds contain polyphenols in their skins consisting of flavonols, flavan-3-ols, hydroxybenzoic acids and flavanones analogous to those of certain fruits and vegetables."
Can she pronounce all of those names?
Also, in case anyone still thinks that anything "natural" must be safe, here's another Wikipedia quote: "Bitter almonds may yield from 4-9 mg of hydrogen cyanide per almond." Yum!
- kordless 12y agoDon't forget that heating almond based saturated fats can create a significant amount of free radicals...at least in almond flour.

- kordless 12y agoAlmonds are full of polyunsaturated fats. These types of fats are known for their heat instability, causing breakdown. This often leaves free radical sites on the molecules that can damage cells. Google a bit for it and you'll find the science behind it. Because of this, it's a standard warning on almond flour stuff nowadays.
