My skin breaks out and gets extra oily feeling when I eat too many nuts --
especially walnuts. It's strange that when I eat lots of fats from meat,
fish and olive oil -- my skin is ok, but with the fats from lots of nuts --
my face looks like grease city. I think that too many nuts may create an
overload of pro-inflammatory omega-6. Any thoughts on how much nuts would
have been eaten by paleos? Would they have played a larger dietary role than
animal protein and would they have been available in the huge quantities
easily available to us?
