I eat many, many peanuts every week (1 to 2 pounds), almost all are the
roasted in the shell style.  I also eat about every 50th to 60th nut
complete with the shell.  I have been doing this for about 15 years.

I have asked several doctors and dentists about this, and never have
gotten a reply that I'm about to hurt myself.
