We live in a time when harmful elements are more powerful than ever before. Over 60% of the fat content in almonds is monounsaturated fats. (This is the same type of fat that is found in olive oil.) Monounsaturated fat is widely accepted to be a key ingredient to reducing the risk of heart disease and part of a heart-healthy diet. Brewer's yeast is also rich in chromium which can reduce blood cholesterol levels.
