I take fish oil, so a 1/4 cup or so of walnuts or almonds shouldn't be a big deal in terms of o6.
LOL - Nothing like balancing some rancid immunosuppressive omega 3's with some gut damaging omega 6 - what a recipe for success.
Did you have to be a jerk about your opinion of a bad diet?

well, they obviously are working. W/o fish oil, I break out on my back. They also contain vitamin E to prevent rancidity.
Nuts in general are very hard on the digestion. It is ideal to soak them if you choose to eat them as they contain phytic acid (inhibits absorption of vital nutrients) and enzyme inhibitors. When you soak them in water overnight you remove these inhibitors and reduce the phytic acids so that you can break them down easier. It is probably best though to avoid nuts if you have digestive issues or eat them in moderation as they are hard on the digestion.
I used to have problems with almonds...every time I ate them I broke out...a lot. I used to have really bad acne...cystic, whiteheads, and blackheads...the works! You know, those huge nasty pimples that never came to surface (cowards!) and took WEEKS to go away..ugh they are the worst and hurt like crap! After detoxing my body with herbs and whole foods (mainly in raw form) I can eat them with no problem! Yippee. I mainly focused on cleansing my liver and colon.
^ walnuts also have a lot of omega 3s though. For some reason they broke me out though... I've had macadamias before, though I don't remember if they caused any problems and I'm scared to eat more nuts
A lot of ALA, which is pretty useless for the most part.
And it certainly doesn't have enough Omega-3s to counteract the Omega-6s.
Plus some phytic acid thrown into the mix. Non-animal sources of omega-3 are crappy.
