Results from a study funded by the International Nut and Dried Fruit Council (INC) demonstrate that longer-term consumption of mixed nuts may lower cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in older adults with obesity or overweight and may support accessible dietary interventions to improve cardiovascular health in at-risk populations. The newly published study in the journal Nutrients builds on earlier research that showed consuming mixed nuts over a long-term period significantly reduced total and low-density lipoprotein, or “bad” cholesterol levels.
