DAVIS, Calif., Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent study published online in the journal, Nutrients[1], suggests daily tree nut consumption reduces the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetSx) by improving waist circumference, lipid biomarkers, and/or insulin levels, without requiring calorie restriction, in young adults.

Key Points: 
  • Males who consumed tree nuts snacks had decreased blood insulin levels (-1.14 ± 1.41 mIU/L, P = 0.05).
  • "When we assessed the effect of tree nut snacks on individual MetSx scores (calculated by assigning 1 point for each metabolic syndrome risk factor)," said Principal Investigator,
    Heidi J.
  • "Substituting typical high carbohydrate snacks with tree nuts (almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts) would likely have a positive impact in reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome and its consequences in this age group."
  • Consumption of tree nuts as snacks reduces metabolic syndrome risk in young adults: A randomized trial.
