What can we believe?

Hey everyone, I am not trying to find fault all the time, but today I did have the sound on Gourmet Holiday and was watching TJ eating NUTS!! I may be wrong, but on one of his very first food shows, he said he is allergic to nuts? And would not eat or touch anything with nuts....today he was putting away a bowl of Squirrel Cashews...I guess I am pretty gulliable as I mostly believe what Hosts say about their health, oh well.

Maybe it was someone else and you are mistaken. Why would one say they are allergic and are not? Makes no sense. If they are allergic it would be stupidity to eat them. Seems you are really digging to find fault, but who would be at fault and for what?

He said, I believe, peanuts, not all nuts.

@Bellajay @Maryrose828 Might be right. You can be allergic to peanuts and not other nuts.

Peanuts are not the same as tree nuts (such as almonds, cashews, pistachios, walnuts, pecans and more), which grow on trees. (Though approximately 40% of children with tree nut allergies have an allergy to peanut.) Peanuts grow underground and are part of a different plant family, the legumes.

i have no idea if he is allergic to any nuts or not, but the creme brulee cashews that he was eating does contain peanut oil and may contain peanuts or other tree nuts according to the nutritional information.

Peanut allergy is caused by an allergic reaction to the peanut protein. Peanut oil is typically safe because it's highly refined and has almost no detectable allergen (protein). This is the type of peanut oil often used in cooking and frying and is safe for individuals with peanut allergy.

In fact, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically exempts highly refined peanut oil from needing to be labeled as an allergen the way “peanut” would need to be.

I keep a notebook full of information the hosts say so I can refer back to it. Many times I will see an item and take a few notes to jog my memory and it often helps to note the host. I also do this with my Bible I got from the QVC during Bible study.

@Marp I am allergic to peanuts and I did not know about peanut oil not being an allergen. I have been avoiding peanut oil thinking it would be the same as peanuts.

I might try a pasta salad had a local resturant that is made with peanut oil. Before I developed an allergy to peanuts, I loved that pasta salad. I may work up the nerve to try it again.
