The Claim
Consumption of walnuts is associated with a reduction in all-cause mortality risk among individuals with high baseline diet quality.
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 walnuts have a lower risk of dying from any cause, even if they already eat a healthy diet.
See the scientific wording
Walnut consumption reduces mortality risk even in individuals with high baseline diet quality.
Eating walnuts delivers a type of fat called ALA into the body, which changes the composition of fats in the blood and improves the lining of blood vessels. This reduces plaque buildup in arteries and allows blood to flow more easily, lowering the chance of heart attacks and strokes that cause death.
What the research says
1 studyEven if you already eat healthy, adding walnuts to your diet may help you live longer — people who ate walnuts five or more times a week lived about a year and a half longer than those who didn’t.
