Eating Nuts May Halt Adult-Onset Diabetes
"Eating lots of nuts or peanut butter may help ward
off diabetes, a study of more than 83,000 nurses
suggests. Women who reported eating the equivalent
of a handful of nuts or one tablespoon of peanut
butter at least five times a week were more than 20%
less likely to develop adult-onset, or type 2,
diabetes than those who rarely or never ate those
products." - USA TODAY - November 27, 2002

You're Nuts for Nuts
"Several large studies have linked nuts to lower
heart disease risk and longer life. In the landmark
Nurses' Health Study, for instance,women who ate the
most nuts (about 5 oz per week) had half the risk of
heart attack as those who rarely ate them. Although
the power sources in nuts is unclear, researchers
suggest that their unsaturated fats, magnesium,
copper, folic acid, protein, potassium, fiber, and
vitamin E may all play a part." - Prevention
Magazine / November 2000
"Nuts do not contain cholesterol."
In fact, studies show that walnuts, almonds,
macadamia nuts and pecans might actually help
protect against heart disease. ... One reader
reports: 'Eating a handful of walnuts every day has
lowered my
cholesterol 25 points.' " - Union-News,

Go Nuts! Full of nutrients, nuts get a healthy
report card - Any way you crack 'em, nuts are
healthy
"Nuts, while high in
fat, contain mostly monounsaturated and
polyunsaturated fats. These unsaturated fats have a
heart-friendly reputation. ..." 'If you reduce total
fat consumption,' he says, 'you're also reducing the
amount of good fats that you eat, fats that have a
protective effect against heart disease.' They are
necessary for growth, healthy skin, control of blood
pressure and blood clotting. The walnut, while
somewhat short on monounsaturates, is a good source
of omega-3 fatty acids that counters the blood clots
that can cause heart attacks. Two other antioxidants
in nuts, quercetin and campferol, may suppress the
growth of cancers. Most nuts are also fairly good
sources of protein." - Union-News, Springfield,
