The Claim
Among Korean adults aged 40–79, consuming two or more servings of nuts per week (30 grams) is associated with a 12% lower risk of all-cause mortality over a median follow-up of 12.3 years, after adjustment for age, sex, BMI, income, education, smoking, alcohol, physical activity, and chronic disease history.
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.
Korean adults aged 40–79 who eat at least two servings of nuts per week have a 12% lower risk of dying from any cause over 12.3 years compared to those who eat fewer servings, after accounting for lifestyle and health factors.

Eating nuts lowers bad cholesterol and blood pressure by changing how the liver handles fats and by feeding good gut bacteria that produce beneficial compounds. Nuts also make you feel full longer, so you eat fewer calories and gain less weight. This reduces fat buildup, high blood pressure, and diabetes, which lowers the chance of dying from heart disease, stroke, or other illnesses.
What the research says
1 studyPeople in Korea who ate at least two handfuls of nuts every week were 12% less likely to die from any cause over 12 years, even after accounting for their lifestyle and health habits — so eating nuts regularly may help people live longer.
