Reply from Claire, Age 17 - 04/10/06 - IP#: 24.239.149.xxx ok, thank you!:) I just hate the fact that my mom is so skeptical....I mean obviously I wouldn't eat something that's bad for me! Anyway, thanks Lindsey:)

Reply from Claire, Age 17 - 04/10/06 - IP#: 24.239.149.xxx I get regular almonds. I don't see or taste any salt on them...I've never heard of salted ones? so are the ones I'm eating good? thanks.
Reply from Lindsey, Age 10 - 04/10/06 - IP#: 207.200.116.xxx Well there are good and bad cholesterol, I think because almonds are the nuts that help prevent heart disease. Almonds are actually very healthy with the Omega 3 fatty acids and poly- and mono- fats. If you are going to get almonds though, get un-salted and keep them in a cool spot.
