RE: References for [Cretan and Okinawans...]

[Guest guest]

: in the future, please post references WITH the original post.

It does no good to post and then a few days later, add your references,

without your original post. We have no way of knowing if the references

match the claims.

TIA for your future cooperation.

>>A walnut diet improves endothelial function in hypercholesterolemic subjects:

a randomized crossover trial.

Again, not suprising and only futher supports the ongoing contention here, and

one that I support fully, that the whole food source of nutrients is " almost "

always better than a fractioned refined source of nutrients.

So, if you add MUFA to a diet, would Nuts be better than Oil? yes. The nuts

have more fiber, more overall nutrients, and as the study said,... they had more

omega 3s and more vit e. It also futher supports that the benefit of the so

called " med " diet is not the olive oil.

So, walnuts are better than oil, but are walnuts better than berries and leafy

greans?

I'm still trying some more papers about those issues.
