Peanuts get a bad rap

Salmonella poisoning from a single factory has given peanuts and peanut butter a bad rap. In fact, it is incredibly good for you and makes a great special treat for dogs (virtually all dogs love bacon, cheese and peanut butter).

The Iowa Women's Health Study showed that death rates dropped 11 percent among those who ate peanuts or peanut butter once week and fell 19 percent among those who ate it more than once a week!

There is a good reason it is the favorite snack during the cocktail hour. The resveratrol found in peanuts (and in red wine) can prevent fatty liver disease associated with alcohol consumption! Resveratrol also protects against cancer and improves blood flow to the brain, reducing the risk of stroke.

Roasted peanuts are even better for you than fresh or raw peanuts. Roasting increases the level of anti-oxidants by up to 22 percent.

This humble legume can delay the widespread effects of aging on the brain and body and can boost the immune functions.
