Nuts and death
Go nuts! Consumption of nuts linked to mortality benefit
by Larry Husten, (contributing medical news journalist), Forbes, 20 November, 2013
As described here, "Nut consumption has long been linked to healthy lifestyles. Now, a study in the New England Journal of Medicine extends the finding and demonstrates a strong association with improved mortality."
The study referred to here is:
- Association of nut consumption with total and cause-specific mortality
- by Ying Bao, M.D., et al, New England Journal of Medicine, 369:2001-2011, 21 November, 2013
An interesting feature on the NEJM website is this 3-minute video description of the study, which does an excellent job summarizing the analysis in nontechnical language.
