Hello Gwen,

I'm sure that's true overall, as well as the other data you cite. And

I eat nuts on rare occasions. However, for me nuts are a " trigger

food " and one of those things that illustrates " bet you can't eat just

one " . No kidding. Putting the package away helps, but not a lot....

Anyway, I agree with both you and Sandy....just that it is something

that I'm VERY careful with.
