In a study of more than 5,000 people, researchers have found that greater nuts consumption is associated with lower levels of #biomarkers of #inflammation, a finding that may help explain the health benefits of #nuts.

"Population studies have consistently supported a protective role of nuts against cardiometabolic disorders such as cardiovascular disease and Type-2 diabetes, and we know that inflammation is a key process in the development of these diseases," said corresponding author Ying Bao from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.
