The Claim
Higher nut and peanut consumption is associated with a 30% to 40% lower risk of death from ischemic heart disease in African, European, and Asian populations, with hazard ratios of 0.60–0.62 for the highest versus lowest intake groups.
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 and peanuts have a 30% to 40% lower risk of dying from ischemic heart disease compared to those who eat the least, based on studies in African, European, and Asian populations.

Eating nuts and peanuts lowers bad cholesterol and reduces swelling in artery walls, which prevents dangerous buildups from breaking off and blocking blood flow to the heart.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who ate more nuts or peanuts were much less likely to die from heart disease, no matter if they were Black, White, or Asian, or lived in the U.S. or China. The study found the same big drop in risk — about 40% lower — as the claim says.
