Chowdown With Chip – Almonds Crush Heartburn?

Crunching three almonds before or after a meal can crush heartburn pain, experts say. "Almonds really work to prevent heartburn," says one testimonial gathered by researchers. "I had heartburn after dinner no matter what I ate," but after eating roasted almonds with meals, "I have not had heartburn since." However, experts say you should avoid the chocolate covered treats for dessert as the coating counteracts the benefits of the almonds.
