The New England Journal Of Medicine just published a paper with the snappy title of Association of Nut Consumption with Total and Cause-Specific Mortality
As compared with participants who did not eat nuts, those who consumed nuts seven or more times per week had a 20% lower death rate. Inverse associations were observed for most major causes of death, including heart disease, cancer, and respiratory diseases.
The risk of dying of heart disease dropped an astounding 29 percent!
Nuts if you are not allergic to them appear to be a superior medicine when compared to the effectiveness of the profitable family of drugs called Statins. Being a Diabetic this news makes me very happy because I eat a lot of nuts and I can not tolerate Statins as they severally and painfully inflame my joints.
