PEANUTS

peanuts is great for your heart and overall health! A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (December 1999) showed that diets higher in monounsaturated fats from peanuts and peanut butter reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 21% compared to the average American diet, whereas a low-fat diet reduced the risk by only 12%. Over 80 percent of the fat in peanuts comes from the “good” monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
