Worried nuts will cause weight gain? A large review puts that concern in perspective
Resumen del corpus
A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials investigated the effects of nuts with different fatty acid profiles on body composition. The review found that nut consumption did not significantly change body mass, BMI, or waist circumference overall, although the MUFA-rich subgroup showed a significant increase in reported daily energy intake. Nuts were associated with modest reductions in fat mass and improved body composition, and the MUFA-rich group was linked to lower triglycerides, with some improvements in lipid profiles observed.
