The Claim
Higher nut consumption is associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease, with individuals in the highest intake group having a 19% lower risk compared to those in the lowest intake group, based on data from 33 prospective cohort studies involving 63 distinct 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.
If you eat more nuts, you might have a lower chance of getting heart disease — people who eat the most nuts seem to have about 1 in 5 fewer cases of heart problems than those who hardly eat any.
