Feb 25, 2024 | ajc.com | Walter Willett

Q: I’m allergic to nuts, and every article I read says, ‘Add nuts, they’re good for you.’ So what’s a person to do? A: I understand your frustration. I eat nuts probably two or three times a day, and if I couldn’t eat them, I’d feel like something was missing from my diet. For people who have nut allergies, it’s important to consult an allergist to learn more about the specifics of your allergy and whether there are some nuts you might be able to eat.

Dear Editor,The points raised by Dr. Jones et al., were addressed in our manuscript, but we appreciate the opportunity to provide additional clarification. As we mentioned in the statistical analysis section, our primary analysis did not adjust for change in total energy intake because it is a potential mediator in the carbohydrate-weight change relationship. Thus, adjustment for energy-intake could be over-adjustment.

For people who have nut allergies, it's important to consult an allergist to learn more about the specifics of your allergy and whether there are some nuts you might be able to eat. If you definitely can't eat peanuts or any type of tree nut, alternative foods can add some of the protein, healthy fats, nutrients and satiety that nuts contribute to a diet. The research supporting nuts as an important component of the daily diet is strong.
