Monounsaturated fats are considered a good type of fat when consumed in moderation. They help increase our body’s HDL levels while lowering LDL levels. They’re found in a wide variety of foods, such as meat, whole milk, olives and olive oil, avocados, almonds, cashews, and peanuts. With the exception of red meat, monounsaturated fats are typically good choices for people with acid reflux disease.

(You can also buy them pre-shelled, but then they're not as fun to eat.) [2015] - Michael Greger
