>Do peanut promote coronary artery disease?

Yes.  They contain odd triglycerides that promote cholesterol
production, even though the fatty acid residues in them are unsaturated
and would in theory be good for cholesterol.  If you could de-esterify
(saponify) and re-esterify peanut oil with different FA ordering, it
would be fine.  But nobody (of course) bothers.  So stay away from
peanuts.  Almond and hazel nut butters taste better anyway.
