Summary

Tree nuts were long perceived as an unhealthy food due to their high fat content and caloric value. However, recent epidemiologic and numerous clinical studies have provided evidence that frequent nut consumption is associated with favorable plasma lipid profiles, reduced risk of coronary heart disease, certain type of cancer, stroke, atherosclerosis, type-2 diabetes, inflammation, and several other chronic diseases. Drawing on contributions from experts based in industry and academia, Tree Nuts: Composition, Phytochemicals, and Health Effects discusses the results of state-of-the-art research on different aspects of tree nut compositions, phytochemicals, and their health effects.
