Question:
Dr. Esselstyn recommends no nuts. I hear so much use of plant-based milk which uses nuts- what can to tell us about this, as it's in many recipes if we're trying to avoid nuts?
— Cynthia Dudak
Answer:
There's a really good reason why he doesn't, um, recommend nuts to his cardiac patients. And that is because, um, if you said to someone, you can have an ounce of nuts, a a tablespoon of nuts a day, it's about this part of your, uh, hand. And the problem is that no one in the history of the world can eat that little bit of nuts. So rather than lead you into temptation by saying, yes, you can have these, these amount of nuts. Um, so, but sesame seeds I find are okay just by using also sunflower seeds.
