I'm from peanut country (if you look at a bag of peanuts, it was probably produced and packaged right around my hometown in Virginia. Where I grew up, peanuts flew off the shelves, and you could drive a couple of miles out of town and get them right from the farmers. We like our peanuts. When I left home for the bright lights and big city, though, I found that peanuts were not quite the same. I wanted raw peanuts to cook myself, but they didn't come out right. Then I found out that peanuts mold easily, and, if they are on the shelf, they have plenty of opportunity to do so. When I got into guarding against candida, I had to jettison my peanuts, because they might contain mold which could kick me into relapse. Later on, I have heard about the aflotoxin (or whatever) that Tommie has mentioned. Meanwhile, I found that peanuts give me major heartburn (I had never had heartburn, didn't really understand the term, couldn't understand how someone could have " heartburn " and think it is was a heart attack, or, as was my grandfather's case, have a heart attack and think it was heartburn! Whoa! Now I know! Not fun!) Peanuts are so off my list of food. Margaret rawfood , " Tommie " <jerushy wrote: > > I believe, Elf, that it's a mold-producing substance, aflatoxin.
