so i suppose you’ve been pondering this for a very  long time do your nuts have to be organic or can  

you consume conventional nuts let’s talk about it  the nut that has the most pesticides of any nut  

is actually the walnut however peanuts actually  have more pesticide residues but technically  

it’s legume it’s a it’s a bean okay so the walnut  is actually just super saturated with chemicals  

you have cashews pistachios walnuts macadamia  nuts they all have a lot of chemicals on them  

but here’s the big question can the pesticide  penetrate the hard shell no it can’t okay but

they are sprayed with pesticides after  they’re picked and cracked open unfortunately  

yes and so those pesticides they’re all fat  soluble and there’s a lot of oils in the  

in the fat so they go in like a rocket ship  so you’re dealing with a nut that has a good  

amount of chemicals on it so um the answer is  if possible you need to go with the organic okay  

uh i think it’s very important  however they’re very very expensive  

so at least at the very bare minimum do fair trade  nuts they have less amount of chemical sprays  

or you could actually buy them in shells and  de-shell them yourself a little less expensive  

a little more work oh and as a side note  brazil nuts the unique thing about brazil  

nuts is that they’re only collected in the wild  from the amazon rainforest now it is true that  

there’s no pesticides in the rainforest but unless  they’re organic they could also be sprayed as well  

after they crack them open so by buying more  brazil nuts you can actually contribute to  

saving the rainforest a little bit  more so ideally it’s best to go organic  

if you can’t always do that make sure you don’t  consume large amounts also if you’re consuming  

like cruciferous vegetables on a regular basis the  phytonutrients in those vegetables do help reduce  

the toxic effect from environmental toxicities as  far as peanuts go i consume the organic valencia  

peanuts you’re going to get less pesticides  and you’re going to also get less toxins from  

certain funguses that can grow around peanuts  so i’m going to do a separate video on that all
