Peanut Health Status Update November 2, 2009: The peanut has been the source of much health benefit debate over the years. Fortunately more and more sources have now realised the health benefits of peanuts and, in particular, the benefits of Hi Oleic peanuts which have been sold through The Peanut Van for some time now. Health magazines have been including references to peanuts more and more often, including Australian Men's Fitness magazine, (right). "Nuts have a very high satiety power - meaning they make you feel fuller than many other foods. And even though they're high in kilojoules, those kilojoules seem to be processed differently in the body. Researchers found that men who added 2000 kilojoules' worth of peanuts a day to their diet gained no extra weight at all" - Men's Fitness Magazine issue, Oct/Nov 2009, Page 51 For more information about Hi Oleic peanuts visit the Hi Oleic website
