Nuts, Peanut Butter Consumption Associated with Lower Diabetes Risk in Women


Eating nuts and peanut butter has been associated with lowered risk of type 2 diabetes in women during 16 years of follow-up in a large study of nurses in the United States.

 Relative risk for women who ate nuts never or almost never was 1.0. It was 0.92 for those eating a 28-gram portion of nuts less than once a week and 0.84 for those consuming a portion once to four times a week. Relative risk for women eating portions five or more times a week was 0.73.

Researchers studied nut and peanut butter consumption in a cohort of 83,818 women from 11 states who participated in the Nurses’ Health Study. The women were aged from 34 to 59 years. They had no history of diabetes, cardiovascular disease or cancer at baseline in 1980, when they completed a validated dietary questionnaire.
