According to Cyril Kendall, Ph.D., of the University of Toronto, “This is the largest study done to date looking at the effect of tree nuts and peanuts on Type 2 diabetes.”

According to Maureen Ternus, M.S., R.D., Executive Director of the International Tree Nut Council Nutrition Research & Education Foundation, “While we’ve known for years that eating 1.5 ounces of nuts per day can help reduce the risk for heart disease, these new findings show that consuming nuts may now be helpful in controlling Type 2 diabetes as well.”

Tree Nuts and Diabetes

Here are the things that I liked about the products that I tried:

*The order arrived very quickly.
*The cashews and almonds were larger than any almonds and cashews that I have every tried before.
*All the nuts were fresh and flavorful.
*The pistachios had a tasty seasoning.
*The apricots were good-sized and just lovely, no brown spots, very good flavor.
*The packaging was handy – plastic bags with zip-lock tops.

The only thing that I didn’t like about them was that I’m used to a larger pistachio. I think I’m spoiled by the pistachios that are available locally or the pistachios that I was able to try for the giveaway I hosted last month. It would take an exceptional nut to sway me.
