The body of evidence about nuts and health continues to grow. These local and international research papers, recently published, corroborate decades of research about the importance of a healthy handful of nuts in a healthy diet.

Association of Nut Intake with Risk Factors, Cardiovascular Disease, and Mortality in 16 Countries From 5 Continents: Analysis from the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology (PURE) Study. (2020).

Higher nut intake was associated with lower mortality risk from both cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular causes in low-, middle-, and high-income countries.

Association Between Healthy Eating Patterns and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease. (2020).
Shan Z. et al.

These findings support the recommendations of the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, emphasising diets rich in wholegrains, fruits and vegetables, nuts and legumes.
