the participants consumed walnuts on a daily basis. The conclusion
of the report found that a walnut-modified diet was verified
to be more efficacious than eating vegetables, fruits and foods
with olive oil. Cholesterol levels of LDL were improved five
percent more with nut consumption.

from the Harvard School of Public Health. More than 86,000 women
were evaluated and compared to non-nut consumption women versus,
females who ate nuts. The study deduced that women who ate a
minimum of five ounces of nuts per week reduced their risk of
heart disease by approximately, thirty percent. Not to mention,
