According to researchers at Alabama A & M University, Peanuts contain phytochemicals (a type of beta-carotene composition) up to 4 times more than other snacks. When heated, the peanuts will absorb the antioxidants in the skin that was originally there. This absorption occurs at the beginning of the cooking process. Heat from the fire, help release phytochemicals.
But other than that, identical peanuts as a source of fat, and cause acne. However, research at Purdue University, the United States found that those who consume 500 extra calories, or just by eating peanuts for eight weeks did not gain weight.
The researchers speculate that the fat content, fiber, and protein in peanuts can be filling, so absently reduce their food portions. Other evidence suggests that consumption of walnuts, pecans, and almonds have little effect on weight gain.
