Aspergillus flavus which produces a carcinogenic substance called
aflatoxin. Peanut oil causes clogging of arteries and peanut butter can
harbor salmonella and cause salmonellosis.

Women of ancient Babylon would eat halva, a mixture of honey and sesame seeds to prolong youth and beauty, while Roman soldiers ate the mixture for strength and energy.
Sesame oil is used for massage and health treatments of the body in the ancient Indian ayurvedic system with the types of massage called abhyanga and shirodhara. Ayurveda views sesame oil as the most viscous of the plant oils and believes it may pacify the health problems associated with Vata aggravation.
According to Assyrian legend, when the gods met to create the world, they drank wine made from sesame seeds.

Sesame seeds are rich in manganese, copper, and calcium (10 mg for hulled seeds), and contain vitamin B1 (thiamine) and vitamin E (tocopherol). They contain lignans, including a unique content of sesamin, which are phytoestrogens with antioxidant properties. Among edible oils from six different plants, sesame oil had the highest antioxidant content. Sesame seeds also contain phytosterols associated with reduced levels of blood cholesterol, but do not contain caffeine. The nutrients of sesame seeds are better absorbed if they are ground or pulverized before consumption such as in Artisana Raw Organic Tahini. In Hindu legends and beliefs, tales are told in which sesame seeds represent a symbol of immortality and the God Maha Vishnu's consort Maha Sri Devi herself was often depicted representing the properties of the sesame seed.
In Tamil medicine, a gurgle with sesame oil in the mouth after brushing teeth will reduce gum disease, mouth ulcer and eliminate plaque and colourless film. Taking a full sesame oil bath with a simple self massage are considered mandatory in Tamil tradition at least once in a week on Wednesday & Saturday for males and Fridays for females as quoted by a Siddha Yogic Tamil medicine philosopher Auvaiyaar. "Sani Neeraadu" means at least take a full shower once a week on a rest day (which is Saturday) with oil which will reduce ones' body heat, for those who live in the hot humid tropical regions.
