For the first time, a team of researchers has analyzed the nutritional composition of raw cashew nuts from the largest growing regions around the world, providing a much better approximation of the real nutrient content of cashews.
Cashew nut supplementation in Asian Indians with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) reduced systolic blood pressure and increased HDL “good” cholesterol concentrations, according to a recent study published in The Journal of Nutrition.
In a human-intervention trial published recently in the journal Nutrients, researchers at the USDA, ARS, Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center, looked at the available energy content in cashew nuts(1).
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has recently published the study titled “Cashew consumption reduces total and LDL cholesterol: a randomized, crossover, controlled-feeding trial”.
