Home: The Toast

Still not worth it:

People who regularly eat nuts appear to live longer, according to the largest study of its kind.

The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggested the greatest benefit was in those munching on a daily portion.

An alternate study has found results that lead to a different conclusion:

Once ingested, an almond will absorb roughly 1000% of the natural moisture found in the human mouth. Do you remember that old rumor that the government classified anyone who had taken LSD more than six times as legally insane? Anyone who eats more than six almonds in a sitting has, legally, died of thirst. It’s the same principle.

Luckily, your mouth will soon be able to rehydrate once you start bleeding from the gums, where flak from a thousand jagged almond slivers have made a thousand tiny cuts.

Nuts are garbage; eating a nut is like eating a pebble that has been halfway enchanted into something edible by a witch who got distracted during spell-casting and left it frozen in stasis, neither rock nor food. You can tell the New England Journal of Medicine I said so.
