The explanation I have heard is that whatever is harmful (or beneficial) can be more (or less) concentrated in the food versus the oil (or food versus the juice), etc.

Hi Mr. Doug.

If you are fighting Candida, peanuts are not a good idea. Peanuts are loaded with fungus (forget the type, sorry). But definitely not recommended for a Candida diet.

Almonds are a much better choice.

And all seeds and nuts should be soaked overnight in salt water (or water with whey) to make them more digestible.

cheers
