It has been thought for long that peanuts can be wholesome. After all, peanuts contain a list of healthy nutrients, including vitamins B3, B11 and E. Now, a newly released, impressively big international study concludes that eating peanuts may reduce your chances of cardiovascular disease and death. Americans who consumed most peanuts, on average, had an up to 40 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease and a 21 percent lower risk of dying prematurely from any disease than those who consumed the least peanuts. So taking care of your heart is, well, peanuts.
