The Claim
Nut and peanut consumption is not significantly associated with reduced risk of death from cancer or diabetes in low-income U.S. and Chinese populations.
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.
In low-income populations in the U.S. and China, eating nuts and peanuts does not show a statistically significant reduction in deaths from cancer or diabetes.
See the scientific wording
Nut and peanut consumption is not significantly associated with reduced risk of death from cancer or diabetes in low-income U.S. and Chinese populations, despite associations observed in other studies.
People with low income eat fewer nuts and peanuts, so their bodies get less of the compounds that normally help control inflammation and blood sugar. Without enough of these compounds, the body cannot reduce the damage that leads to cancer or diabetes deaths.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that eating nuts and peanuts didn’t lower the chance of dying from cancer or diabetes in poor people in the U.S. and China, even though it helped reduce heart disease deaths. So, the claim is right.
