Bad Cholesterol and Brazilian Nuts

Bad Cholesterol and Brazilian Nuts                                               

                          
One of the craziest research, I have read all year involved feeding people a single serving of Brazil nuts to see what they would do to the cholesterol levels of healthy volunteers. Researchers gave ten men and women a single meal containing nil, two, four and eight Brazil nuts, and found that the consumption of just that single serving almost instantly increased cholesterol levels. Ldl the so-called poor blood cholesterol level was significantly lower beginning nine hours after the ingestion of nuts and by no small amount almost 20 points per day. Drugs don't work that fast, either. It takes about four days for statins to have a significant effect.
 
Yet this is not even the crazy part of it.
The authors returned and assessed their cholesterol five days later, and then 30 days later. Now keep in mind that they have not eaten Brazil nuts all this time. I had only one helping of Brazil nuts a month ago, and their cholesterol was still down 30 days later. It went down and stayed down, having eaten just four nuts, that's nuts.

And no, the research was not financed by the Brazil nut industry.
Ironically, in fact four nuts seemed to do work faster than eight nuts to lower bad cholesterol LDL and raise the good one HDL for up to 30 days, and maybe longer-no more than 30 days. 

Now usually, when a study is published in the medical literature showing some a goo good to be a true result like You want to wait to see the results repeated before you change your clinical practice before you prescribe something to your patients especially when the study is done on only ten people, and especially when the findings are simply just too amazing to believe. 

But if action is inexpensive simple harmless and healthy --eating four Brazil nuts a month, then in my view the burden of proof is kind of reversed. I believe the rational default position is to do so until it has been proved otherwise.

We concluded that a single serving was adequate without causing liver and kidney toxicity. What they are referring to is the high selenium content of Brazil nuts. So high that four eaten every day can potentially push up against the tolerable daily selenium limit, but not something we need to worry about if we are just eating four
once a month.
 
Brazil nuts contain healthy fats called polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the use of monounsaturated fats or polyunsaturated fats instead of saturated or trans fats help improve cholesterol levels, which reduces the risk of heart disease and  stroke. 

Brazil nuts also contain dietary fiber. AHA states that consuming fiber-rich foods increase blood cholesterol levels and decrease the risk of heart disease, stroke, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. 

The results of the 2019 study showed that higher consumption of tree nuts decreased the risk of cardiovascular disease and heart attack among people living with diabetes.
