I don't really know. I've never eaten more than a few handsful at a time, I find that after eating a few I don't really want anymore. It's like there's a natural "thermostat" that tells me when I've had enough of them. But they've never given me any discomfort whatsoever, and I am prone to digestive problems.

[Mahesh Shah] Dont they contain enzyme inhibitors that prevent digestion and cause a load on the body's system?
