The photo shows cashew nuts. If you’re completing the headline “Doctors reveal that eating cashews causes…”, there isn’t evidence that cashews generally cause a particular disease in healthy people. In fact, cashews provide protein, unsaturated fats, magnesium, copper and other nutrients.

Extra calories and sodium
Cashews are nutritious but calorie-dense. Salted or flavored varieties can contain considerably more sodium, so portion size matters. About 28 g (roughly 18 cashews) is a typical serving.

Skin irritation from truly raw, unprocessed cashews
The shell contains urushiol, an irritant also associated with poison ivy. Commercial cashews are processed to remove this risk, so the cashews normally sold for eating are safe.

The takeaway
For most people, a moderate portion of properly processed, unsalted cashews is a healthy food—not something that should be feared. The biggest concern is allergy, not a hidden toxic effect from ordinary eating.
