On Peanuts

​​Peanuts are toxic and are legumes just like soy and beans. They contain aflatoxin, a potent carcinogenic compound in fungus that grows on grains and legumes. They contain toxic lectins which lead to autoimmune dysfunction, leptin resistance, tissue deterioration, poisoning, inflammation, and a whole slew of other issues. They contain agglutinins, proteins which cause binding of other proteins and generate random clotting of blood, and this goes for high blood glucose as well, and promote metastatic response of cancer and cancer-like tissues. They contain an obnoxious amount of polyunsaturated omega-6, which is the same as those rancid vegetable oils and is pro-inflammatory and atherogenic (causes atherosclerosis).

• agglutinin
  [agglutinin [ah-gloo´tĭ-nin]
  Any substance causing agglutination (clumping together) of cells, particularly a specific antibody formed in the blood in response to the presence of an invading agent. Agglutinins are proteins (immunoglobulins) and function as part of the immune mechanism of the body. When the invading agents that bring about the production of agglutinins are bacteria, the agglutinins produced bring about agglutination of the bacterial cells.]  ~Take note that agglutinins from sources like grains and legumes have a caustic effect, not the same as your immune system, but instead your immune system attacks itself. They cause clotting of everything, including blood.
• Peanut agglutinin appearance in the blood circulation after peanut ingestion mimics the action of endogenous galectin-3 to promote metastasis by interaction with cancer-associated MUC1.
  [ Thus, PNA appearance in the blood circulation after peanut ingestion mimics the actions of endogenous galectin-3 and promotes cancer cell metastatic spread by interaction with cancer-associated TF/MUC1.]

I would stick with other forms of fat like butter or even virgin coconut oil. Peanuts, like grains, have been blown out of proportion as a health food and it's completely wrong.
