The Almond Board of California, which oversees virtually 100 percent of the almonds grown and consumed in the United States and Canada, is now implementing plans to pasteurize all almonds.

Well, it seems ABC now believes a "dead" (pasteurized) Almond is the SAME as a non Pasteurized almond. As they have concluded that Almonds can legally be labeled "RAW" even though they will cook them at temperatures starting at a 158Degrees(F) .

virtually all almonds you could ever hope to buy in the US will be nothing more then an empty nut. As the pasteurization process will deplete most if not all nutrients in the nuts.

So what once was a healthy snack is now nothing more then an empty calorie. Goodbye my beloved Almond butter ;(.
 
What? Booooo! Do you know exactly what get lost in the pateurization process? I eat almonds mostly for the monosaturated fats and Vitamin E (and because almond butter tastes great with celery ;) ). Would any of that change?
 
well, i guess if all eles fails we can still order them from other countries on the internet lol. although, that's such a hassel just for some almonds

The point is, the government is yet again stepping in to tell us what is best for us. Yet they have no idea what they are doing.

Conspiracy theory! lol;)
The government wants to abolish all supplements that can not be taxed and all food that can keep a person healthy. Doing this makes the public more needy on doctors thus on drugs which is the single largest profit industry.

Its now rumored that the gov is going to have every single veggie RADIATED prior to being sold, again they are completely ignoring the fact that this destroys the food.
A study published in JAMA i believe a few years back concluded that broccoli (aswell as just about every other veggie) microwaved depleted 98% of all nutrients in it.

They claim its to prevent all the tens of deaths a year from e.coli. wow like that is the nations biggest killer.
If the government wanted to stop needless deaths they would ban one of their largest profits - cigarettes .

Not the link, the story content ;) Just fact that the almond is being destroyed is lame. I love the almond.
 
I can't %*^$ing believe this! This is awful! I was already annoyed with the forced pasteurization with milk and now my almonds? It's ridiculous.

That's it! I'm moving out to the country and planting my own vegetable garden and buying some goats and cows. *Packs bags and leaves in a huff*

Yup, the fats are destroyed. I never eat cooked nuts. Switch to peanuts, walnuts, or hazelnuts.

They will soon enough, after all someone(ONE) person in America might die from aflatoxin poisoning.

Sidenote

Aflatoxin in studys has been shown to only affect those with the highest protein consumption.
