Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 The health facts are in about almonds! The project leaders who are commissioned for the research rank at the top of their respective fields come from more than 20 scientific organizations globally, such as the University of California (UC), Loma Linda University (LLU), University of Toronto (U of T), Tufts University, Michigan State University, Purdue University, City of Hope Medical Center, King’s College London, Peking Medical University, and others. There are now two publications that give overviews of almond's health benefits. 1, 2 These overviews include the emerging research demonstrating that almonds as a nutrient-rich, satiating food may play a role in weight control and maintenance, followed by the latest information on almond phytochemicals and their potential role in cancer prevention. Heart Health Benefits Our major clinical focus has been to determine the relationship between almond consumption, cardiovascular disease, and related risk factors. In September, 2002, the American Heart Association’s journal, Circulation, published the first almond study in a medical journal, showing that in a clinical study of people with elevated cholesterol, almonds significantly lowered bad cholesterol levels, and a linear reduction in LDL cholesterol resulted in response to an acceptable range of almond intake in a dose-response manner. 3 In June, 2003, a second dose response metabolic study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition on men and women with normal cholesterol levels, showed that a high almond diet decreased total cholesterol, reduced LDL, and improved HDL levels. 4 These two studies represent some of the strongest in a petition filed by the International Tree Nut Council Nutrition Research and Education Foundation to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a heart health claim for nuts. http://www.almondsarein.com/health/ ===== [...there'll be love and laughter, and peace ever after, just you wait and see... ---Vera Lynn] Mail - Find what you need with new enhanced search. http://info.mail./mail_250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
