Vegetarian Times, March, 2003
Next time you find yourself lingering near a bowl of mixed nuts, swipe another handful. Harvard University researchers reported in the November 27, 2002 issue of Journal of the American Medical Association that nuts and legumes can boost your health. A study of almost 84,000 women over a 16-year period led researchers to conclude that regular nut consumption lowered participants' risk for type 2 diabetes--even after adjusting for age, weight, calorie intake, family health history, physical activity, smoking and alcohol consumption.
Women who ate 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.
