Is it harmful to eat peanuts with the shells on?

Call me lazy, I'd say efficient.

Is it harmful to eat peanuts with the shells on?
How do you choke on peanuts shells? Are you people just swallowing them whole?



Anyway, peanut shells are not a good idea to eat, despite convenience. Some dog foods use peanuts shells as a source of “fiber” (i.e. - filler). However, this is generally considered an inferior way to deliver fiber (for dogs and people).



Peanut shells are a "non food" and are not handled well by the digestive system (much like, say, wood). And there have been cases where dogs have died from being poisoned by their dog food. The source was the aflatoxins produced by the fungus and molds that can grow on the outside of the shells. Aflatoxin is a known carcinogen and 20 times more toxic than DDT.



Proper storage and handling have lessened the chances of mold or fungus from growing, but not eliminated them. Furthermore, fertilizer and pesticides can be absorbed by the shell and no amount of washing or roasting will remove all of it. I supposed you could only eat organically grown peanuts, but then the likelihood of mold or fungus increases. Choose your poison.



The bottom line is peanut shells aren't good for you to eat and you should stop doing it.

Reply:I think after trying one your teeth will tell you not to do it again.
Reply:That's like asking if it's harmful to eat wood :\



There are much more healthful and easier ways to get fiber dear
Reply:Yes,it is harmful to eat peanuts with the shells on because it will make you choke when you are trying to eat the whole peanut,without taking off the shells first! Plus,imagine how much it will hurt when you have to go to the bathroom and pass the whole peanut with shells on when you have to have a bowel movement,OUCH!! :-(
