I'll take those Brazil nuts, I love them. I really love most nuts,
can't really think of one I'd turn down. However, I didn't realize
how many almonds I ate until I found out they are really high in
oxalates and I have to avoid them because of kidney stones. Nuts in
general, but almonds seem to be singled out as especially bad news for me.
