Question 1

are salted cashews good for you?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Salted cashews are tasty and nuts have proven to be helpful for the arteries.  However they also are highly caloric and the salt may also be an issue, so just be sure they are calculated to be part of a healthy dietary intake.

Question 2

what are the chances of something that says "may contain cashews" actually having them?

Accepted Answer

Cashews: If there is warning consider it likely and don't chance it!

Question 3

can eating salted cashew nuts make me waterlogged?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Salted nuts of any kind can increase your caloric intake and contribute to salt retention which is an underpinning of high blood pressure.  Your natural mechanisms to keep salt and water balance will keep you from getting "waterlogged" unless you have kidney disease.

Question 4

i am highly allergic to feta, pine nuts, and cashews. is there a trend?

Accepted Answer

Not known: Not aware of such a trend although the incidence of food allergy especially to peanuts  has been rising among children.

Question 5

what can i do if my baby is deathly allergic to cashews and pistachios, does this mean he is allergic to mangos?

Accepted Answer

From Allergy Advisor: One would expect an extensive cross-reactivity among the different individual species of the genus (e.g., mango, cashew and pistachio nut), but this, in fact, does not occur frequently(27). Cross-reactivity has been found among pistachio nut, cashew nut, and mango seed, but this cross-reactivity did not extend to mango pulp.

Question 6

i notice if i don't eat raw cashews for a few days i can't go to the number two the raw cashew nuts is what helps me go  is this normal and why?

Accepted Answer

High fiber content: It is the high fiber content of the cashews that is allowing you to have bowel movements. The underlying question is why you cannot have regular bowel movements without them. You may have irritable bowel syndrome constipating type or perhaps something more insidious. At any rate, i would recommend that you discuss this with your family dr. And possibly with a gastroenterologist as well. Best wishes.

Question 7

where can i buy cashew nut oil?

Accepted Answer

Helth food stores: This is not carried in ordinary drug stores nor groceries. Some health food stores have this but you might have to buy it on line from outfits like << iherb.Com >>

Question 8

are cashews good for weightloss?

Accepted Answer

Hard to tell: Everything in moderation is okay.  There are no "super foods" or miracle foods that help people loose weight.  Avoid advertising that emphasizes one food as a successful therapy for weight loss.

Question 9

help please! is cashew and almond butter good for you?

Accepted Answer

Good taste: There is some nutritional benefit to the types of fat in nuts including almond and cashews. However, those fats are highly caloric and if you have a weight issue, you should adjust other caloric intake as these butters are higher in calories for a given volume than peanut butter.

Question 10
