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.
Adults aged 84 and older who eat nuts five times per week have an 18% lower rate of death from any cause and a 39% lower rate of death from coronary heart disease than those who eat nuts less than once a week.
