The Nuts of Evolution

Genesis 43:11
And their father Israel said to them, 'If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best fruits of the land ... pistachio nuts and almonds.' New research is revealing the health benefits of eating nuts. While eating peanuts has been shown to reduce heart disease risks by lowering triglycerides, tree nuts offer many more benefits.

People often worry about the fat in nuts. However, most of that fat is the good kind that protects hearts, while at the same time satisfying the body's need for fat. The result is that nut eaters can lose weight and keep it off. In one Canadian study, those trying to lose weight while satisfying their fat needs with nuts lost an average of nine pounds over 18 months. Over the same trial period, those trying to lose weight with a low-fat diet actually gained an average of six pounds. Another study showed that people who ate two ounces of nuts four or five times a week lowered their risk of heart attack by 50 percent. Yet another study showed that women who ate only five ounces of nuts per week were one third less likely to have a heart attack than those who ate nuts infrequently. Several studies have shown that almonds, macadamia nuts or walnuts lowered high cholesterol by ten percent. Other studies have shown that nut eating can lower the risk of prostate cancer by 30 percent and may lower the risk of colon and stomach cancers.

Nuts are a great gift from God and truly are among the best fruits of the land. Chance would not have evolved all these health benefits in a food clearly designed for us to eat. A loving Creator made them for our good.

Prayer:
Thank You, dear Father, for all the good gifts of the earth. Amen. Notes:

Good that God made them grow on high trees and gave them a strong nutshell so that you could easily access it. - Wait a second!

@kyleain Your posts only go to highlight your ignorance regarding how the theory of Evolution actually works and what it explains. Perhaps you should read a Bio 101 book before you post any more ignorant comments.

Your own version of the "Crocoduck" argument, as put forth by world famous ass-clown Kirk Cameron and Ray :the banana man" Comfort, proves your ignorance.

Sorry, there is no proof for your "Poof!goddidit" hypothesis.

[kyleain]

@TheWad1959 Oh wait you're right, because whatever you say is true because you said so, oh God. Fail.

[kyleain]

@TheWad1959 You know what "gullible" and "simpleton" mean right? Ever used a dictionary before "retard"? Might wanna stop with the assuming and judging by mere appearances, as Jesus commanded morons like you not to do, because, he was smart and wise, unlike you, who goes around making cheap shot insults like a typical parrot.

[kyleain]

@TheWad1959 Oh wait, you're right "retard": I saw a deer turn into a shark, I mean a fish into a monkey yesterday, I mean uh, uh, Darwin is right cuz uh, he has a beard n'' wrote a book, oh wait, I hate books, books are big, well he's right cuz Christian-hating scientists always shown in pictures with machines and in a school setting or looking sauve and babbling about string theory and what sounds duck billed dinosaurs really sounded like (nerds) are just always right, cuz uh, like yeah, hur.

[kyleain]

@TheWad1959 Think for once idiot, about something other than "oh she's so hot" and "why critianity id wronged, cridins are toopid hee hur, u cridin dumdies u dis dumbed huuur."

[kyleain]

@TheWad1959 You're right, because information can write itself and ducks defend their eggs because evolution told them to. You don't think moron, and you're so dumb, you don't even know you're referring to a verse in the Bible, that was, big surprise, warped, to make it appear worldly: "All Cretan's are liars" you stupid liar. Ironic that idiots like you keep hypocritically accusing people of being dumb and immoral like you. Oh and, you are moral right? How can you pretend to be a honest? FAIL.

It's a myth that cholesterol and high cholesterol is bad. There is also no bad cholesterol.
