The Claim
In U.S. adults, consuming an average of 33.7 grams of tree nuts per day is associated with a 0.49 kg/m² lower BMI and a 0.04% lower HbA1c compared to consuming 7.09 grams of tree nuts per day, after adjustment for demographic and lifestyle factors.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
U.S. adults who eat about 33.7 grams of tree nuts daily have, on average, a slightly lower body mass index and slightly lower blood sugar levels than those who eat about 7.09 grams daily, after accounting for age, lifestyle, and other factors.

In U.S. adults, consuming an average of 33.7 grams of tree nuts per day is associated with a 0.49 kg/m² lower BMI and a 0.04% lower HbA1c compared to consuming only 7.09 grams per day, after adjusting for demographic and lifestyle factors, indicating a small but statistically significant dose-response relationship.
Eating tree nuts makes you feel full faster and keeps blood sugar from spiking after meals, which leads to less fat storage and more stable blood sugar over time.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who ate about an ounce of tree nuts a day had slightly lower body weight and blood sugar levels than those who ate less, even when accounting for other healthy habits — and the study found this pattern in a large, representative group of U.S. adults.
