About this episode

In today's episode, we'll dive into some of the most common nut questions (and myths) we hear time and again, and explain where the truth really lies, based on the scientific evidence.

Should you avoid nuts if you're trying to lose weight? Can you eat nuts if you have diverticular disease? Raw or roasted – which is healthier? Do you need to activate nuts? And are nuts allowed on a low FODMAP diet?

The Healthy Handful podcast host, Belinda Neville, speaks with colleague and Accredited Practising Dietitian Maree Hall to unpack the answers to these hot nut questions.
