The Claim
Higher nut consumption is associated with a 36% lower risk of cancer-related death in a Mediterranean population over a 4.3-year follow-up period, independent of other dietary and lifestyle factors.
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 in Mediterranean populations who eat more nuts have a 36% lower chance of dying from cancer over 4.3 years, compared to those who eat fewer nuts, even when accounting for other diet and lifestyle habits.

Eating nuts lowers harmful inflammation and damage from free radicals in the body, which stops cancer cells from growing and spreading.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who ate nuts at least eight times a month were 36% less likely to die from cancer over a few years than those who never ate nuts, and this link held even after accounting for other healthy habits.
