Frequent nut consumption associated with less inflammation

Frequent nut consumption associated with less inflammation

In a study of more than 5,000 people, investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital have found that greater intake of nuts was associated with lower levels of biomarkers of inflammation, a finding that may help explain the health benefits of nuts. The results of the study appear July 27 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. "Population studies have consistently supported a protective role of nuts against cardiometabolic disorders such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, and we know that inflammation is a key process in the development of these diseases," said corresponding author Ying Bao, MD, ScD, an epidemiologist in BWH's Channing Division of Network Medicine. "Our new work suggests that nuts may exert their beneficial effects in part by reducing systemic inflammation."

  1. I would consider them more of a healthy snack than anything else. It didn't say they had to be raw but lots of times cooking adds salt.

  2. I'm surprised how much I like raw cashews Randy Resnick -like candy. Yvi San try tracking, peanuts are called nuts but aren't. Fred is (was?) allergic to Brazil nuts but could eat walnuts.
