OH, NUTS! SO THEY ARE GOOD FOR YOU, AFTER ALL? ; STUDY: NUTTY DIETS LOWER DIABETES RISK
[7 SPORTS FINAL Edition]

Abstract (Document Summary)
The study divided the participants into four nut-consumption categories. Those in the highest group -- five or more 1-ounce servings of nuts per week -- had a 27 percent lower risk of developing diabetes than those who never ate nuts. And women in the highest peanut-butter group (the equivalent of 5 ounces or more of peanut butter per week) had a 21 percent lower risk. The authors acknowledge that, while peanuts are technically legumes, the composition of peanuts is similar to other nuts. The researchers had no information on the kind of nuts that participants ate. [Rui Jiang] and her colleagues recommend regular nut consumption, which is a far cry from nutritional advice from a decade ago, when nuts were tagged as high-fat treats. This was coupled with misplaced concern about cholesterol -- which nuts and other plant foods don't have -- and worries about nut allergies. The result was a decline in consumption.
