00:00Some nuts we eat for health may actually raise the risk of colon cancer.
00:03And a few of these might be sitting in your kitchen right now.
00:06Here are five nuts you should think twice about.
00:09First are peanuts.
00:10If they're stored badly, they can grow aflatoxins.
00:13These are toxic compounds linked to cancer.
00:16So always choose clean roasted peanuts from trusted brands.
00:20Next are bitter almonds.
00:21They contain natural chemicals that can release cyanide.
00:25Most almonds in stores are safe sweet almonds.
00:27But imported bitter almonds can pose long-term health risks.
00:32Third are Brazil nuts.
00:33Just one or two a day is enough.
00:35Too many can overload your body with selenium.
00:38And excess selenium is linked to DNA damage and higher cancer risk.
00:42Fourth are heavily roasted mixed nuts.
00:44High heat creates ages.
00:46These compounds fuel inflammation and oxidative stress.
00:50Both are associated with colorectal cancer.
00:53So stick to raw or lightly roasted options.
00:56Finally, raw cashews.
00:57If processed incorrectly, they can contain urushiol.
01:01The same irritant found in poison ivy.
01:03Chronic irritation from it may contribute to higher cancer risk.
01:07Nuts are still healthy.
01:09Just choose trusted brands, eat them in moderation, and avoid heavily processed varieties.
01:14Small changes can protect your health in a big way.
01:17Small changes can protect your health in a big bowl.
01:17Full voice of ant
