This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that nut consumption is likely to reduce serum triglycerides in healthy adults with overweight/obesity, and LDL-c when incorporated in one's habitual diet.
- "Subgroup analyses for serum lipids revealed that the favorable effect of nuts on serum TG was more pronounced in population with a mean BMI <30 kg/m2 and in a follow-up duration <12 weeks...
"...Moreover, in the subgroup analysis based on the type of diet, nut consumption led to a significant decrease in LDL-C in those following a normocaloric diet."
- However, nut consumption was not found likely to affect serum total cholesterol, HDL-c, glycemic markers or blood pressure.
