Peanuts: This Legume Linked to Cardiac Health

 In three large cohorts of 40- to 79-year-old mostly low-income US southerners and men and women in Shanghai, China, those who ate more peanuts had a lower risk of dying from CVD or all causes in a median follow-up of 5 to 12 years.

Thus “consumption of nuts, particularly peanuts, given their general affordability, may be considered a cost-effective measure to improve cardiovascular health,” Dr Hung N Luu (Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, TN) and colleagues write in a study published online March 2, 201, in JAMA Internal Medicine.
