Eat Peanuts: You May Live Longer
In the first study of its kind, eating nuts, including peanuts, has been linked to fewer deaths across ethnic groups, even for people who had metabolic conditions like morbid obesity or diabetes, were smokers, or drank alcohol.
The large, observational diet study included lower-income Americans from the Southeast and Chinese people in Shanghai. All groups — blacks, whites, and Asians — showed longevity benefits from eating nuts. Study participants didn’t need to eat expensive nuts to add years to their lives — peanuts and peanut butter work as well as more costly varieties of nuts.
