The International Nut and Dried Fruit Council (INC) funded a systematic review and meta-analysis on nut consumption, which has been published in the scientific journal Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases. The industry coalition argues its findings offer a “good indication” that consuming nuts may beneficially affect blood lipids in adults with a mix of health statuses. “This may be important for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases as well as intermediate health conditions such as overweight, obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia,” it states.
