Eating half a handful of nuts every day could substantially lower the risk of early death, a Dutch study suggests.
Previous studies had already indicated a link with cardiovascular health, but this is the first to look at specific nuts and diseases.
Maastricht University researchers found a 23% lower chance of death during the 10-year study in people eating at least 10g (0.3oz) of nuts or peanuts a day.
More than 120,000 Dutch 55-to-69-year-old men and women provided dietary and lifestyle information in 1986, and then their mortality rate was looked at 10 years later.
The researchers had taken into account the mitigating factor that nut consumers ate more fruit and vegetables and that women who ate nuts were often leaner, and adjusted the results accordingly, Prof Van den Brandt told the BBC.

Apparently, if the Dutch survive not being aborted, they can live longer by eating nuts. Doesn’t help the fetuses, though.
OMG, Ron and Rand are going to live to be 200...
How about peanut-butter sandwiches?
So I guess that’s why squirrels live so long?................
Manspreading.
Peanuts aren’t nuts.
Bread is no good for health.
Sorry.
I eat so many cashews that squirrels follow me around everywhere... : )
I love peanut butter...and peanut butter sandwiches!!! On an warm toasted English Muffin with honey or jam...yum yum!!!
Best...singles....bar....pickup....line....EVER!!!!!
Just leave the bread and peanut butter out. Stick to the nuts. All that processed garbage like bread is squeezed out of tubes in some depressing factory run by illegal aliens. It’s no good for ya.
Well, it's a legume, but still...
Poor Bruce Jenner. He’s about to subject himself to an early death.
I bake my own bread!
