- Are Walnuts Healthy? Clinical Scientific
Update: Mounting scientific research shows health benefits
of walnuts, especially heart-healthy
omega-3s.
- Walnuts are the healthy
nut and go beyond lowering cholesterol:-
A new clinical study from the University
of Barcelona shows that substituting walnuts
for monounsaturated fat in a Mediterranean diet
improves, and even restores, endothelial function
(the property of arteries to dilate in order
to meet an increased demand of blood). Walnuts
also reduce harmful cell adhesion molecules which
are associated with atherosclerosis, commonly
known as hardening of the arteries. These dual
effects enhance the circulatory system, therefore
aiding in the prevention of heart disease. According
to the researchers, walnuts are the first whole
food to show such cardiovascular benefits. The
study is published in Circulation: Journal of
the American Heart Association. Read
the report from Circulation: Journal of American
Heart Association
FDA allows health claim for walnuts
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has affirmed the health claim, "Supportive
but not conclusive research shows that eating
1.5 ounces per day of walnuts, as part of a
low saturated fat and low cholesterol diet
and not resulting in increased caloric intake,
may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease." This
FDA decision comes in response to a petition
filed by the California Walnut Commission,
which highlights a body of international scientific
research substantiating the specific benefit
of consuming walnuts as part of a heart healthy
diet in reducing the risk of heart disease.
The body of evidence suggests that the nutritional
composition of walnuts contribute to these
heart health benefits.
Is Baklava Healthy? Can it be guilt free?
Since Walnuts contain "the
GOOD fat", they can be part of a guilt
free dessert. Walnuts are high in Omega-3 fatty
acids, containing more of this desirable ingredient
than other nuts. Click
