Eating peanuts, even in small quantities, helps reduce mortality caused by cardiovascular problems, according to extensive research in the United States that confirmed previous work with similar results. Peanuts are linked to a decline in overall mortality of between 17 and 21% and a decrease of 23 to 38% of deaths from cardiovascular diseases, according to the researchers of the study published in the journal of the American medical association JAMA. The investigation was based on 70,000 black and white individuals in the United States and 130,000 Chinese in Shanghai. Most of the participants belonged to modest socio-economic categories. "In our study, we found that peanut consumption coincided with a decrease in mortality in general, especially due to cardiovascular diseases in black and white American populations, as well as between Chinese men and women in Shanghai," said Hung Luu, epidemiologist of the faculty of medicine of the Vanderbilt University and principal author of the work. The scientist explained that since this dried fruit is much less expensive and more accessible than nuts, encouraging its consumption can be an economic way to improve the cardiovascular health of populations. "These data come from epidemiological studies and not from controlled clinical trials, so we can not be sure that peanut consumption as such leads to a reduction in mortality," said William Blot of the cancer research center. of Vanderbilt and co-author of the study. But, he added, "the results support previous research that suggests that the benefits of eating peanuts are quite encouraging." Peanuts (without added salt) are rich in nutrients and contain non-saturated fatty acids, fiber, vitamins and antioxidants.
