And an article I posted for our office health news: http://my.webmd.com/printing/article/1671.53518 "...Compared with men who were not big nut eaters, those who ate nuts at least twice a week were about half as likely to fall victim to sudden heart death. And the nut eaters were 30% less likely to die from heart disease, according to researcher Christine M. Albert, MD, MPH, of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and colleagues... ...Lichtenstein says it's most likely the omega 3 fatty acids found in nuts that provide protection against the heart rhythm problems that can lead to sudden death. Researchers say walnuts contain especially high amounts of these fatty acids compared with other types of nuts. Nuts are also rich in magnesium, potassium, and vitamin E, all of which have the ability to protect the heart, according to the researchers. In addition, nuts contain substances known as flavonoids, which have recently been shown to reduce the risk of heart-related deaths." Flavanoids are also found in green and black tea.
