Are There Cons to Almonds?

Yes, while almonds offer many benefits, there are some cons to be aware of in regard to these nuts. Almonds do contain oxalates. Excessive oxalates in certain individuals will result in crystallization. What it means in your body is that you may develop kidney stones or gall stones.

Individuals with a history of kidney stones or gall stones should eat almonds with caution. But for that matter, no one should be going overboard with almonds. A snack should consist of 5-7 almonds, so I'm not talking about eating them by the handfuls. Remember, a little goes a long way.
