PMID: 29145952 Abstract Title:  Nut Consumption and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease. Abstract:  BACKGROUND: The associations between specific types of nuts, specifically peanuts and walnuts, and cardiovascular disease remain unclear. OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to analyze the associations between the intake of total and specific types of nuts and cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and stroke risk. METHODS: The authors included 76,364 women from the Nurses&#039; Health Study (1980 to 2012), 92,946 women from the Nurses&#039; Health Study II (1991 to 2013), and 41,526 men from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (1986 to 2012) who were free of cancer, heart disease, and stroke at baseline. Nut consumption was assessed using food frequency questionnaires at baseline and was updated every 4 years. RESULTS: During 5,063,439 person-years of follow-up, the authors documented 14,136 incident cardiovascular disease cases, including 8,390 coronary heart disease cases and 5,910 stroke cases. Total nut consumption was inversely associated with total cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors. The pooled multivariable hazard ratios for cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease among participants who consumed 1 serving of nuts (28 g) 5 or more times per week, compared with the reference category (never or almost never), were 0.86 (95% confidence interval: 0.79 to 0.93; p for trend = 0.0002) and 0.80 (95% confidence interval: 0.72 to 0.89; p for trend &lt;0.001), respectively. Consumption of peanuts and tree nuts (2 or more times/week) and walnuts (1 or more times/week) was associated with a 13% to 19% lower risk of total cardiovascular disease and 15% to 23% lower risk of coronary heart disease. CONCLUSIONS: In 3 large prospective cohort studies, higher consumption of total and specific types of nuts was inversely associated with total cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/consumption-nuts-was-associated-13-19-lower-risk-total-cardiovascular-disease-#comments Cardiovascular Diseases Coronary Artery Disease Nuts: All Peanuts Walnut Cardioprotective Cardioprotective Coronary Artery Disease Meta Analysis Nuts: All Peanuts Risk Reduction.

Epub 2015 May 6. PMID: 25946626 Abstract Title:  Ethanol Extract of Peanut Sprout Lowers Blood Triglyceride Levels, Possibly Through a Pathway Involving SREBP-1c in Rats Fed a High-Fat Diet. Abstract:  The hypothesis of this study was that peanut sprout extracts (PSE) could reduce fat accumulation through activating the transcription of SREBP-1c genes. Sprague-Dawley (SD) were randomly assigned into two groups and fed the following diet for 4 weeks; 10 normal fat (NF, 7 g of fat/100 g diet) and 30 high fat (HF, 20 g of fat/100 g diet). After 4 weeks, the HF group was divided into three groups; HF, HF with 15 mg of PSE/kg diet (HF+low PSE, 0.025% resveratrol), and HF with 30 mg of PSE/kg diet (HF+high PSE, 0.05% resveratrol) and fed for an additional 5weeks. The HF+high PSE group had significantly lower weight gain than the HF group. Plasma triglyceride (TG) level and the hepatic total lipid level were significantly lower in the HF+high PSE group compared to the HF group. Fecal excretions of total lipids, cholesterol, and TG in the HF+high PSE group tended to be higher than in the HF group, but these differences were not significant. The mRNA expressions of fatty acid synthase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and sterol regulatory element binding protein-c (SREBP-1c) were significantly lower in the HF+high PSE group than in the HF group.The mRNA expressions of hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase and acyl-CoA cholesterol acyltransferase were significantly lower in the HF+high PSE groups compared to the HF group. The mRNA expression of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase1 was significantly higher than the HF group in both the HF+low PSE and HF+high PSE groups, with much greater increase observed in the HF+high PSE group. In conclusion, consumption of PSE was effective for improving blood lipid levels, possibly by suppressing the expression of SREBP-1c, in rats fed a high-fat diet. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/consumption-peanut-sprout-extracts-was-effective-improving-blood-lipid-levels#comments Peanuts Triglycerides: Elevated Hypolipidemic Hypolipidemic Peanuts Plant Extracts reduce fat Triglycerides: Elevated Weight Loss Animal Study Thu, 19 Jan 2017 01:14:17 +0000 greenmedinfo 142197 at https://greenmedinfo.com Critique of Proposed Regulations of Homeopathic Medicines and Alternative Proposals https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/critique-proposed-regulations-homeopathic-medicines-and-alternative-proposals <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2018<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><img alt="" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/blank.justin/images/CritiqueofProposedRegulationsofHomeopathicMedicinesandAlternativeProposals.jpg" /><br /> <strong><span style="font-size:12px;">Originally published on&nbsp;<a href="https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2018/03/06/regulation-on-homeopathic-medicines.aspx" rel="dofollow" target="_blank">www.mercola.com</a></span></strong></span></span></p><p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/critique-proposed-regulations-homeopathic-medicines-and-alternative-proposals" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/critique-proposed-regulations-homeopathic-medicines-and-alternative-proposals#comments Cancers Cannabis Common Cold Diabetes Dry Skin Ear Infection Fibromyalgia Heart Disease Homeopathic Medicine: All Milk Oats Peanuts Potato Seizures Strawberry Arsenic Chemical and Drug Toxicity Health Guide: Corruption in Science Health Guide: Herbs and Traditional Knowledge Heroin Wheat big pharma corruption in science Homeopathic remedies Tue, 06 Mar 2018 19:31:34 +0000 danaullman 160814 at https://greenmedinfo.com Increased nut consumption was associated with a decreased risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and gastric non-cardia adenocarcinoma. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/increased-nut-consumption-was-associated-decreased-risk-esophageal-squamous-ce PMID:  Gastric Cancer. 2018 Mar 28. Epub 2018 Mar 28. PMID: 29594821 Abstract Title:  Tree nut, peanut, and peanut butter consumption and the risk of gastric and esophageal cancer subtypes: the Netherlands Cohort Study. Abstract:  BACKGROUND: Nut consumption has been associated with reduced cancer-related mortality. However, it is unclear whether nut consumption also reduces the risk of esophageal and gastric cancer subtypes. We prospectively investigated the relationship of tree nut, peanut, and peanut butter intake with risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA), and gastric non-cardia adenocarcinoma (GNCA) in the Netherlands Cohort Study.METHODS: In 1986, 120,852 males and females, aged 55-69 years, completed a baseline questionnaire on diet and cancer risk factors. After 20.3 years of follow-up, 133 ESCC, 200 EAC, 191 GCA, and 586 GNCA cases, and 3,720 subcohort members were available for multivariable Cox regression analyses, using a case-cohort approach.RESULTS: Increased total nut consumption was significantly associated with a decreased risk of ESCC and GNCA [HRs (95% CIs) for 10 + g/day vs. nonconsumers = 0.54 (0.30-0.96) and 0.73 (0.55-0.97), respectively], but not with EAC and GCA risk. Similar trends were observed for tree nut and peanut intake, which were mostly nonsignificant. For peanut butter intake, no significant associations were found. When excluding thefirst four years of follow-up to reduce the possible influence of reversed causation, the relation between nut consumption and ESCC risk attenuated, but remained inverse.CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that increased tree nut and peanut consumption is inversely associated with GNCA risk and possibly with ESCC risk, but not with the risk of the other esophageal and gastric cancer subtypes. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/increased-nut-consumption-was-associated-decreased-risk-esophageal-squamous-ce" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/increased-nut-consumption-was-associated-decreased-risk-esophageal-squamous-ce#comments Esophageal Cancer Gastric Cancer Nuts: All Peanuts Chemopreventive Risk Reduction Human Study Wed, 11 Apr 2018 15:56:28 +0000 greenmedinfo 162436 at https://greenmedinfo.com
