The benefits of walnuts include slowing down prostate cancer

Although it often is the recipient of bad press, fats, as data is showing us more and more, are an essential part of the human diet, without which the heart and brain could not adequately function. New data, emerging from California, is showing that walnuts in particular have a part to play as a member of the positive fats brigade. This emerging data links the snack food favorite to lower levels of cholesterol, improved glucose tolerance and a lessened tendency towards a number of cancers, including prostate. It’s been reasonably proposed that the first two benefits directly affect the third. Lower cholesterol and a lessened tendency towards diabetes are both positive indicators for avoiding cancer.
