Latest News On Nut Consumption and Obesity: They might prevent weight gain.
Released in April 2009, the Women's Health Initiative reports that after following more than 51, 000 women for 8 years there was less weight gain(about lb.) in those subjects that ate nuts twice or more a week.
We need to be careful, this does not mean the more nuts you eat the more you lose. It was only about
not gaining weight, and the differences were reported as "slight."
The problem is the misinterpretation of this data. Nuts add extra calories, for those trying to limit their calories, it makes a poor choice. This massive, long term study did not say that if you eat nuts you will lose
weight, it says, you might not gain the typical weight gain that occurs with aging as fast.
