These Nuts May be Key to Lowering Your Cholesterol

CAN YOU USE NUTS to lower your risk of heart disease? Today we explore growing evidence pointing to nuts as helping to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. I look forward to focusing on one of my go-to nuts, walnuts.

Is the study perfect? No. The participants were not blinded; they knew it they were in the walnut group or not. The subjects lived in the real world, one in which researchers could not control co-variables such as diet.

Oh, one more thing: Guess who paid for the walnut study? The California Walnut Commission, a group that represents the walnut growers and handlers of California. Still, the research results align with a growing body of literature showing the health benefits of walnuts.
