The Claim
Higher nut consumption is associated with a 29% lower risk of death from respiratory diseases and a 17% lower risk of death from cancer in human 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.
People who eat more nuts have a 29% lower risk of dying from respiratory diseases and a 17% lower risk of dying from cancer compared to those who eat fewer nuts.
See the scientific wording
Higher nut consumption is associated with a 29% lower risk of death from respiratory diseases and a 17% lower risk of death from cancer, based on pooled data from multiple cohort studies, suggesting a potential protective role against these leading causes of mortality.
Eating nuts lowers harmful inflammation and damage from free radicals in the body, which helps cells repair themselves and stops abnormal cells from turning into cancer or damaging the lungs.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who eat more nuts (like almonds or peanuts) tend to die less often from lung diseases and cancer, according to a big study of over 120,000 people. It doesn’t prove nuts cause this, but the link is strong and consistent.
