Going nuts about nuts

People who regularly eat nuts appear to live longer, according to the largest study of its kind. And no, I do not mean testicles. I mean a fruit composed of a hard shell and a seed, where the hard-shelled fruit does not open to release the seed. But back to the study, the findings of which were published in the New England Journal of Medicine. It suggested the greatest benefit was in those munching on a daily portion. The American-based team said nut eaters were likely to also have healthy lifestyles, but the nuts themselves were also contributing to their longer lifespan. The study followed nearly 120,000 people for 30 years. The more regularly people consumed nuts, the less likely they were to die during the study. However, the British Heart Foundation said more research was needed to prove the link. Be that the case or be that not the case, the fact remains that nuts are good for you. Nuts, if you're reading this, don't ever change.
