Nuts do not contain any cholesterol, you only get cholesterol from animal or seafood sources. Nuts do contain unsaturated fatty acids which are good for you. The best nuts are unroasted ones, they also contain vitamin E which is lost in the roasting process.

Peanut butter is healthy for you. It is a protein which puts it in the meat group in the food pyramid. But as with anything too much of something is not good for you.

No, nuts are not good for you when they are fried.  Raw nuts are incredibly healthier due to the fact that they contain good oils.  When these good oils in raw nuts are fried, it causes them to become "bad oils", therefore, eating raw nuts is healthier and eating nuts which have been roasted or fried strips all of the good healthy nutrients out of the nut.

1. Walnuts \n\nWhen it comes to nuts, the walnut is the king. It's a great source of the healthy omega-3 essential fatty acids, which have been found to protect the heart, promote better cognitive function, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits for asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, eczema and psoriasis. \n\nWalnuts also contain the antioxidant compound ellagic acid, which is known to fight cancer and support the immune system. But that's not all--in a study in the August 2003 issue of Phytochemistry, researchers identified 16 polyphenols in walnuts, including three new tannins, with antioxidant activity so powerful they described it as "remarkable."\n\nWalnuts are incredibly healthy for the heart. A study in the April 2004 issue of Circulation found that when walnuts were substituted for about one-third of the calories supplied by olives and other monounsaturated fats in the Mediterranean diet:\n\nTotal cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol were reduced\n\nThe elasticity of the arteries increased by 64 percent\n\nLevels of vascular cell adhesion molecules, which play a major role in the development of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), were reduced\n \n  \n2. Almonds\n\nJust a quarter cup of almonds contains nearly 25 percent of your needed daily value of the important nutrient magnesium, plus is rich in potassium, manganese, copper, the antioxidants vitamin E and selenium, and calcium. In fact, a quarter cup of almonds has almost as much calcium as a quarter cup of milk.\n\nThey're also great for the colon. An animal study on the effects of almonds on colon cancer found that animals (which were exposed to a colon-cancer-causing agent) given whole almonds had fewer signs of colon cancer than animals given almond oil or no almonds. Researchers suspect the benefit may be due to almonds' high fiber content. \n\nPlus, almonds are one of the best nuts for lowering cholesterol because 70 percent of the fat they contain is the healthy monounsaturated variety, which has been shown to help clear arteries.\n \n  \n3. Cashews\n\nCashews are lower in fat than most nuts, and 65 percent of this fat is unsaturated fatty acids. Of this, 90 percent is oleic acid, the heart-healthy fat found in olive oil.\n\nPlus, cashews are rich in copper, magnesium, zinc, iron and biotin.\n \n  \n4. Pecans \n\nPecans are an excellent source of over 19 vitamins and minerals including vitamins E and A, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, potassium, manganese, several B vitamins and zinc. \n\nPlus, according to Sue Taylor, R.D., director of nutrition communication for the National Pecan Shellers Association, "Recent clinical research studies evaluating the impact of pecans on serum cholesterol have found pecans can significantly help lower blood cholesterol when consumed as part of a heart-healthy diet."\n\nIn fact, a study from New Mexico State University found that eating 3/4 cup of pecans a day may significantly lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and help to clear the arteries.\n \n  \n5. Brazil Nuts \n\nThese nuts are extremely nutrient-rich and contain protein, copper, niacin, magnesium, fiber, vitamin E and selenium. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that works to neutralize dangerous free radicals. A study at the University of Illinois even found that the high amounts of selenium in Brazil nuts may help prevent breast cancer.\n \n\n6. Macadamia Nuts \n\nThese nuts are high in protein, fiber, healthy monounsaturated fats, potassium and magnesium. And, a study done at Hawaii University found that people who had added macadamia nuts to their diets for just one month had total cholesterol levels of 191, compared to 201 for those eating the typical American diet. The largest change was found in the LDL (bad) cholesterol.

It's good for you if you eat salmon or flax seed oil to get omegas (there is also omega-6). I prefer salmon. Any "additive" of omegas in a product is not enough to be considered beneficial (just like those bogus claims on calcium), so that yogurt with omega-3 is just a marketing gimmick. \n\nIf you eat omegas about 3 times a week, that should be enough. It's true that too much animal products can still increase your cholesterol levels. As for the claims against taking too much, maybe look for articles on Eskimos whose diet consist mainly of salmon. They had survived for thousands of years on this type of food and it would be interesting to know if they had any complications that these research claims suggest.\n\nI hear the best advice for preventative/reduction of heart disease is cardio exercise (4-5x a week for 30 min), stress reduction, and a vegetarian diet.

there are two types: bad cholesterol (found in foods like red meat) that clot your blood vessels and good cholesterol (found in foods like nuts) that lower the risk for heart disease.

Yes, the fats in nuts and avocados are good for you, they are good for you heart and skin and hair.  Fat that comes from animals is bad, like fatty meat or lard.  Trans fat is bad, it comes from companies making a liquid fat into a solid by manipulating it.

For some people, yes.  Cholesterol can be tricky.  Some people just are going to have high cholesterol no matter how carefully they watch what they eat.  But many can respond quite well to dietary and lifestyle changes.\n\nDiabetes--I've had my husband on cinnamon for about 3 months and it hasn't done a thing for him but a friend of his started taking at about the same time and says exactly the opposite.

Essentially Good!! \nShellfish have a high level of cholesterol, but have essentially no saturated fat (slightly over I gram per serving, compared to beef, which can have 10 to 20 grams). And shellfish cholesterol is harder to absorb than that from other high-fat foods, although the reasons are not known. \n\nIn the past, scientists could not differentiate the different sterols and measured them all as "cholesterol". This is why the amount of cholesterol in shellfish reported is very high. \n\nFor your info,  the amount of cholesterol in shrimps is approximately 130 mg per 3 oz of raw shrimp and with only 2 grams of fat.  And shrimp have high levels of beneficial highly unsaturated fatty acids, which raise the good HDL cholesterol levels, so eating shrimp may actually lower blood cholesterol levels.

Eating a high fibre diet reduces the level of bad cholesterol. eat lentils, walnuts(super healthy for the heart), an apple every night, figs,...  omega 3's like fish, nuts, avacado help increase the HDL level. Excercise definitely helps.

They are a fine snack.  They are not harmful unless you are allergic to peanuts.  From a nutritional standpoint, tree nuts like almonds are probably better for you in terms of having the "good" kind of fat.  Nuts in general should be eaten in limited quantities if you are watching your weight.

Nuts are a healthy, but are high in fat.  Although its a healthy fat, it still has nine calories per gram, just like any other fat. I guess if you eat lots of nuts, you'll be the healthiest fat person around.

All animal meats will have cholesterol in them, and seafood has more than chicken and some other meats.  But it is a very lean meat with little saturated fat and transfatty acids, which lead to increase in blood cholesterol.  So if you don't have a problem with high blood cholesterol, there is no reason to avoid seafood.  If so, talk to your doctor.

Cholesterol and fat are completely independent of each other.  For example, most shrimp is fat free.  However it is loaded with cholesterol.  It just happens to be that most cholesterol laden foods are also high in fat, but foods can be high in cholesterol or fat independently and of themselves.\n\nOur body generates all of the cholesterol we need.  It is not necessary to consume any cholesterol.  Our body has the ability to convert fat into cholesterol.  Saturated fat  is likely to produce LDL, and the healthy fats such as poly and mono would be more likely to stimulate the production of HDL.  As for consuming cholesterol, the generally accepted shcool of thought is that high cholesterol foods containing large amounts of saturated fat are likely to increase LDL cholesterol.  Where as foods containing cholesterol that are low in saturated fat  are likely not increase LDL, and quite possible increase HDL if these cholesterol containing foods contain heathy fats such as those found in many sea food products.  However, it is important to keep in mind that what our bodies do with cholesterol that we consume will vary widely from person to person.  Genetics and predisposition play a significant role in our cholesterol levels.  My wife and I both have very low fat diets.  However, she requires statins to keep cholesterol at healthy levels.  Heredity is th ekey factor here.  Both of her parents, her siblings, and grandparents on mothers side all had high cholesterol.  I hope this was helpful.

Almonds are good - they have good fats - but too much of anything is bad.
