Title: Almond Consumption and Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease:A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Lee-Bravatti MA, et al. Adv Nutr. 2019;00:1–13
Method: The authors selected studies that had compared lab values of adults who consumed almonds with those who did not. They found significant reductions in some—but not all—CVD risk factors among the almond eaters. The almond eaters, for example, had lower total cholesterol levels and lost weight during the trials.
Conclusion: “Almond consumption may reduce the risk of CVD by improving blood lipids and by decreasing body weight and apoB [apolipoprotein B].”
Funding: “Supported by the Almond Board of California…The funder did not have a role in the study selection, quality assessment, data synthesis, or manuscrip…
