Nuts are seeds, which means they are the children of plants. In nature, children are most protected. If you meet a bear without children you're usually fine. If you meet a mother bear with children you're usually dead.
Plants can't run away from you or fight you with claws. They have to use chemicals instead. Thus nuts, being the children, have the most toxins to protect themselves from predators.
A great example is almonds. They literally contain cyanide. There's a saying that cyanide smells like almonds but the reality is almonds smell like cyanide because they literally contain it. People usually don't eat immediately lethal dose but it's still harmful. It destroys mitochondria.
Also plant proteins in general are not bioavailable. A chemist will tell you how much they contain but a biologist will tell you how much you can absorb - not much.
