A paper published in the Dec. 2008 issue of Current
Atherosclerosis Reports says "incorporating nuts into the diets of more
people may lead to a variety of cardiovascular benefits"
In the paper, Nash S. D. and Nash D. T. from SUNY Upstate
Medical University in Syracuse, New York say nuts are rich in monounsaturated
fatty acids and fiber and have been linked to decreased risk of cardiovascular
disease and type 2 diabetes.
They say that numerous studies showed nuts favorably affect
serum lipids and exhibit also nonlipid benefits such as improved weight
management, greater insulin sensitivity and favorable endothelial effects. They
even showed anti-inflammatory properties.
