Because macadamia nuts are very rich in flavonoids, some people claim them to be the 'god' of the nut world and an extremely powerful food source to fight off cancer and other diseases created by free radicals. Their high dose of antioxidants help prevent cell damage and oxidative stress caused not just by free radicals, but also the toxic environment in which we live. Macadamia also reduces the likelihood of heart disease and stroke. Around 80% of the fat is monounsaturated, which is linked with reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
