Nuts May Lengthen Your Life, Study Suggests

Eating nuts, including peanuts and peanut butter, may help you live longer, a new study suggests.

Researchers looked at the diets of more than 200,000 people in both the United States and China, and found nut consumption was linked with a lower risk of premature death from heart disease and other causes.

The findings lend support to previous evidence on the heart-healthy benefits of nuts, said study researcher Dr. Xiao-Ou Shu, associate director of global health and professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn.

 

However, Shu said, the finding is "based on an observational study," so the researchers cannot prove cause-and-effect with certainty. "That said, the totality of evidence from nutrition and health research suggests that nut and peanut consumption can be considered a healthy lifestyle choice," she said.

The study is published online March 2 in JAMA Internal Medicine and was funded by the U.S. National Cancer Institute.

'The scientists assessed the pthalate exposure of 328 New York City women and their children, all of whom were from low-income communities.

 

'Break down chemicals from the compounds left after they had been processed in the body were measured in urine samples during the last three months of pregnancy.

 

'Children of mothers whose exposure to DnBP and DiBP was in the top 25 per cent had IQ scores 6.6 and 7.6 points lower, respectively, than those of mothers exposed to the lowest concentrations.

 

'Associations were also seen for specific aspects of IQ, such as perceptual reasoning, working memory and processing speed.

 

None of the women had been exposed to unusual levels of the chemicals, the researchers said, whose findings were reported in the online journal Public Library of Science ONE.
