Dear Community, I've been a fan of nuts.com for awhile. As the only company I know of that certify their nuts, I have eaten them faithfully for the last several years! Only recently I noticed on the packaging (of the certified gluten-free nuts) the warning label stating that the product is processed in the same facility as wheat. I reached out... -

Algaecal causing high result in Coronary Artery Calcium test?
There is no direct evidence that AlgaeCal causes elevated coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores or significantly raises cholesterol levels. However, excessive calcium supplementation—especially without adequate vitamin K2 (which helps direct calcium to bones rather than arteries)—could theoretically contribute to vascular calcification over time, particularly in ... -

Dear Community, I've been a fan of nuts.com for awhile. As the only company I know of that certify their nuts, I have eaten them faithfully for the last several years! Only recently I noticed on the packaging (of the certified gluten-free nuts) the warning label stating that the product is processed in the same facility as wheat. I reached out to the company to enquire about the safety of the product and received the following answer: "Our facility is not allergen-free. We handle all 9 major allergens and produce products on shared equipment. While we have strict procedures in place to minimize cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee that our products are completely free of allergens. We recommend individuals with food allergies to exercise caution and consult our product labels and allergen information for detailed ingredient listings" I was so disappointed to read this! I already reached out to ask if this means they would not recommend even certified gluten-free products to people with celiac, but wanted to reach out here and ask for your all's thoughts too. No longer safe to eat? Any other recommendations for good companies? I have to eat low histsamine, so at the moment, I am limited to pumpkin seeds, pistachios, and macademia nuts. Thanks in advance for the feedback! -

There is no direct evidence that AlgaeCal causes elevated coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores or significantly raises cholesterol levels. However, excessive calcium supplementation—especially without adequate vitamin K2 (which helps direct calcium to bones rather than arteries)—could theoretically contribute to vascular calcification over time, particularly in individuals with absorption issues like celiac disease. Since celiac disease can impair nutrient absorption, it’s possible that imbalances in calcium metabolism or deficiencies in cofactors like vitamin D and K2 might play a role. The spike in your cholesterol is unusual and may not be directly linked to AlgaeCal, but it’s worth discussing with your doctor whether other dietary or metabolic factors (like thyroid function or inflammation) could be influencing both your cholesterol and CAC results. Statins may help manage cholesterol, but further testing (e.g., vitamin K2 status, inflammation markers) could provide more insight into the underlying cause. Always consult your healthcare provider before adjusting supplements or medications. -
Some might. Some might not. Why don't you try it? Taste is a very personal and individual thing. I don't know that anyone can speak for you.
