Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by O'Neil et al determining the association of tree and all nut consumption with cardiovascular (CVRF) and metabolic syndrome health risk factors in adults is presented. All nut consumption was associated with higher HDL-cholesterol, lower systolic blood pressure, lower HOMA-IR and a lower likelihood of reduced HDL-C. The data suggest that nut consumption, especially tree nut consumption, was associated with better weight status and some CVRF. On a population basis, these reduced risk factors could lead to better health and lower tong-term healthcare costs but need confirmation in longitudinal studies.
