The Claim
Consumption of one or more servings per week of peanuts is associated with a multivariate-adjusted hazard ratio of 0.74 for mortality, and consumption of one or more servings per week of tree nuts is associated with a multivariate-adjusted hazard ratio of 0.76 for mortality, indicating a similar inverse association between both types of nut consumption and mortality risk.
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.
People who eat at least one serving of peanuts or tree nuts per week have a lower risk of death compared to those who eat less, based on statistical adjustments for other lifestyle factors.
See the scientific wording
The inverse association between nut consumption and mortality is similar for peanuts and tree nuts, with multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios of 0.74 for peanuts and 0.76 for tree nuts among those consuming one or more servings per week, indicating that both types of nuts are associated with reduced mortality risk.
Eating nuts every week lowers harmful fats in the blood, reduces swelling in the body, and improves how the body uses sugar, which prevents heart disease and other fatal conditions.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Nut consumption and total and cause-specific mortality: results from the Golestan Cohort Study.
This study found that people who ate nuts at least three times a week were less likely to die from any cause, which supports the idea that eating nuts — whether peanuts or tree nuts — is linked to living longer.
