NUTTY NUTRITION NEWS...
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
Nuts of Choice
"Each American eats about 2.25 pounds of U.S. - and
foreign-grown tree nuts a year. Of the nuts grownand
consumed in the USA, the preferences:
Almonds - 25%; Pecans - 22%; Walnuts - 17%; Pistachios - 8%;
Hazelnuts - 3%
Others - 25%" - USA Snapshots - September 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, Springfield, MA -

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."
