Consuming nuts seven or more times per week is associated with a 20% lower risk of all-cause mortality in adults.

What the research says

2 studies

  1. Study: Consumption of nuts and risk of total and cause-specific mortality over 15 years.

    The study found that people who ate more nuts had a lower chance of dying over 15 years, which supports the idea that eating nuts regularly can help people live longer.

  2. Study: Nut consumption and risk of cardiovascular disease events and all-cause mortality: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.

    The study found that people who eat more nuts have a lower risk of dying from any cause, and the results match closely with the claim of a 20% lower risk.
