If you have diabetes, you would do well to eat your walnuts, according to a study published in the December issue of Diabetes Care. The study found that adding walnuts to a low-fat diet improved cholesterol levels in those with type 2 diabetes.
It appears that the polyunsaturated fats and the particular antioxidant found in walnuts makes a winning combination. In light of this and similar previous studies, scientists are concluding that, for those with type 2 diabetes, a low-fat diet including regular intake of both fish and walnuts improves the cholesterol ratios and levels more effectively than does a regular low-fat diet.
