People With T2D Who Eat Five Or More Servings Of Certain Nuts Weekly May Lower Odds For Heart Disease,

reports that people with diabetes “who ate at least five 28-gram (one-ounce) servings of nuts a week were 17 percent less likely to develop heart disease than people with diabetes who had no more than one serving of nuts weekly,” research indicated. The study indicated “tree nuts such as walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, pistachios, pecans, macadamias, hazelnuts and pine nuts were more strongly linked to a lower risk of heart disease than peanuts, which are actually legumes.” The findings were published online in the journal Circulation Research. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-diabetes-nuts/eating-nuts-tied-to-lower-heart-disease-risk-for-diabetics-idUSKCN1Q82RQ
