Nuts May Reduce Risk Of Death From Any Cause, Study Finds - Forbes

Nuts May Reduce Risk Of Death From Any Cause, Study Finds - Forbes: Like several before it, a new study finds that eating a modest amount of nuts every day might significantly reduce our risk of death from any cause. And these include not only a reduced risk of death from heart disease, which has been the most-studied benefit of nuts, but also cancer, stroke, respiratory, and brain diseases. This is excellent news for nut lovers, but the researchers give a word of caution: Don’t completely go nuts, so to speak. There was an upper limit in the study, above which there was no further benefit for eating nuts. And while peanut butter didn’t offer any benefit (sadly), peanuts did, which suggests that although they’re not technically nuts (they’re legumes), they do have a right to continue masquerading as nuts
