According to the Wall Street Journal (5/11, Dooren), research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that nuts may help lower cholesterol levels.
HealthDay (5/10, Edelson) reported that investigators "pooled data on 583 men and women who had participated in 25 nut consumption trials."
"Patients in the trials ate an average of 67 grams, or about 2.4 ounces, of nuts daily," WebMD (5/10, Hendrick) reported.
MedPage Today (5/10, Neale) reported that the researchers found that "eating an average of 67 grams of nuts a day (2.4 ounces) reduced total cholesterol by 5.9% and LDL cholesterol by 7.4%."
