hello susan
some nuts are healthier than others. I know that almonds and walnuts and pistachios are better for you if you have cholesterol problems. note most nuts are also fatty, high in fats (lots of calories) so i would not recomend nuts as the primary source of protein unless you wish to sumo.
Nuts are good for you but be careful. peanuts and soybean are susceptible to attack by Aspergillus flavus (fungus) that produces a carcinogen called aflatoxin. so dont eat nuts gone bad or old peanut butter and never keep them in warm/wet areas
eat varied protein diets and you will get all the required amino acids. cereal, bread, soy, beans, nuts, lots of dairy products like cheese etc
also you will need to supplement your diet with vitamin B12 (the most important thing lacking in vegetarian diets) and D...B12 you can get from dairy products or seaweed (although absorption through seaweed is more difficult), i would still recomend a supplement. You need 1.5 Micrograms a day of B12. vitamin D you can supplement or just sunbathe.
vege heads are also notorious for lacking iron and zinc.... eat alot of citrous fruit (vitamin c) with your heavy iron meals as this will help facilitate iron absorption.
Aside: its usually a wide variety of things that go wrong at the cell level that leads to the development of a cancer cell.
are vegetarians better at warding off cancer?
id think that people who eat a balanced diet are the most healthiest group of people. those who cant balance and live in both extremes end up with something artificial and unhealthy. but some just cant eat meat and that is understandable.
