The Claim
Consuming nuts at least twice per week is associated with a 56% lower risk of all-cause mortality.
What the research says
Challenges is higher
Challenge is ahead, but a single strong supporting 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 nuts at least twice a week have a 56% lower risk of dying from any cause compared to those who eat nuts less often.
See the scientific wording
Consuming nuts at least twice per week is associated with a 56% lower risk of all-cause mortality.
Eating nuts regularly lowers inflammation in the body and makes blood vessels work better, which prevents damage to organs and reduces the chance of dying from any cause.
What the research says
3 studiesStudy: Frequency of nut consumption and mortality risk in the PREDIMED nutrition intervention trial
The study found that people who ate nuts more than three times a week had about a 39% lower chance of dying, not 56% as claimed. The claim overstates the actual result.
