New subscribers to our e-newsletter always receive a free gift. Get yours here: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/




DESCRIPTION: Not eating walnuts may double our risk of dying from heart disease (compared to at least one serving a week), perhaps because nuts appear to improve endothelial function, allowing our arteries to better relax normally.

This helps explain why Nuts May Help Prevent Death (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/n...)

What else can nuts do? See, for example:
• Fighting Inflammation in a Nut Shell (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fight...)
• Tree Nuts or Peanuts for Breast Cancer Prevention? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/tree-...)
• Pistachio Nuts for Erectile Dysfunction (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pista...)
• Nuts and Bolts of Cholesterol Lowering (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nuts-...)

Don't nuts make us fat, though? You may be surprised—see Nuts and Obesity: The Weight of Evidence (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nuts-....

What about the phytates in nuts--do we need to soak or toast them? See:
• Phytates for the Prevention of Osteoporosis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phyta...)
• Phytates for the Prevention of Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phyta...)
• Phytates for Rehabilitating Cancer Cells (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phyta...)
