Organic is better but they are very different. Almonds are tree nuts that grow with a very thick shell so they are naturally protected unlike peanuts that are tubers and spend their entire growing in toxic soil.
That said the big nut producers do fumigate the harvested nuts so there is a trace residue that is left between harvest and packaging. In the shells is more protected like an orange is more protected than a strawberry.
It's never good to eat toxins but conventional peanuts are about as toxic as real food gets..
Love to see a study for that including the funders because even mainstream folks like Harvard recognize the anti-inflammatory role of nuts. It's not as though there is more research I miss than I can see but this hit on almonds is a new one. Almonds are also a fantastic source of calcium especially important for folks who avoid dairy.
Does that apply to almond butter as well?

Almonds are very high in Omega 6 and definitely an inflammatory food.
