2. Cashews
Cashews are high in phytic acid, a substance that can interfere with the absorption of important minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are essential for maintaining strong bones. Additionally, their high calorie content can be a problem if you’re trying to control your weight.
Tip: Limit their consumption to specific occasions and do not use them as a daily snack.
3. Pine nuts
Although they are tasty and rich in zinc, pine nuts can cause a little-known phenomenon called “pine nut syndrome,” a temporary taste disturbance that lasts for several days. Additionally, their high price means they are sometimes purchased as poor quality or improperly stored, which can affect digestion.
Tip: If you like them, look for good quality pine nuts and eat them in moderation, preferably mixed with other safer nuts.
