The Claim
Consuming nuts two or more times per week is associated with a 12–17% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease, with hazard ratios of 0.88 (95% CI, 0.84–0.93) for peanuts and 0.83 (95% CI, 0.79–0.88) for tree nuts, after adjustment for multiple lifestyle and dietary confounders in two large U.S. cohorts.
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 nuts two or more times per week have a 12–17% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared to those who eat nuts less frequently, based on data from two large U.S. population studies.

Eating nuts regularly lowers bad cholesterol and reduces swelling in blood vessels, which prevents dangerous buildups in arteries from breaking off and causing fatal heart attacks or strokes.

1 studyStudy: Association of Nut Consumption with Total and Cause-Specific Mortality
People who eat nuts at least twice a week were found to be less likely to die from heart disease than those who rarely eat nuts, even when accounting for other healthy habits — the study confirms this link with solid data.
