I was asked why I don’t eat peanuts, there are many reasons like the one above that @barbara is sharing . Another reason why I chose not to eat them because they can be rough on your stomach. Plus, they've got stuff like phytates and tannins that mess with how your body takes in important minerals like iron and calcium.
