Eating nuts has been linked to a number of health benefits, such as a reduced risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Now, new findings from South Korea suggest that a nut-rich diet may also reduce a person's risk of colon cancer.
The researchers found a reduction in this risk for both men and women, according to the findings, presented here today (April 18) at the American Association for Cancer Research's annual meeting.
Eating a serving of nuts three or more times a week appeared to have a big effect on risk, said Dr. Aesun Shin, an associate professor of preventive medicine at Seoul National University College of Medicine in South Korea and an author of the study.
In the study, a serving of nuts was considered to be 15 grams (0.5 ounces), Shin told Live Science. That's a smaller amount than what's considered a serving in the United States, she added. (A serving in the U.S. is 28 g, or 1 oz.)
Although the researchers included many types of nuts in their analysis, peanuts were the most widely consumed nuts among people in the study. This may be due to the availability of peanuts in South Korea, the researchers said. [6 Foods That Are Good For Your Brain]
To examine the relationship between eating nuts and colon cancer risk, the researchers looked at 923 patients who had been diagnosed with colon cancer and compared their diets with those of 1,846 people who did not have colon cancer.

Have you ever heard of a squirrel with colon cancer?

You should probably get that polyp checked.
Thank you! I’ve known a lot of ‘squirrely’ types and, you’re right, none of them had this affliction...lol
Cashews are awesome.
Alternate punchline: "Gesundheit" :-)
In real sciences, of which nutrition isn’t, these kinds of observational studies are considered hypothesis-generating exercises. They do not, and cannot, provide anything like proof.
If a squirrel had colon cancer, why would I have heard of it?
The article talks about peanuts as nuts. They are actually legumes.
Correct.
