Metabolic syndrome characterized by a cluster of symptoms raises a person's risk for heart disease. The symptoms include blood pressure higher than 130/85 mmhg;

and the U s. Food and Drug Administration says that eating 1. 5 ounces of nuts per day may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Eating nuts less often than daily was linked also with a reduced risk of death but the link was not as strong:
People who ate nuts two to four times a week were 13 percent less likely to die during the study period those who ate nuts once a week had a 11 percent reduced risk of death
The findings support the results of prior research linking nut consumption with a reduced risk of many diseases including heart disease type 2 diabetes and colon cancer.

The study concluded Higher consumption of eggs (up to one egg per day) is associated not with increased risk of coronary heart disease or stroke.
The increased risk of coronary heart disease among diabetic patients and reduced risk of hemorrhagic stroke associated with higher egg consumption in subgroup analyses warrant further studies.
Health authorities were warning the public against eating eggs for fear that they were a major cause of high cholesterol levels the bad kind low-density lipoprotein known as LDL and increased risk of heart disease.
Yes increased blood cholesterol levels can raise the risk of heart disease. Eggs are high in dietary cholesterol.
but they also contain saturated fat an even more significant culprit in heart-disease risk. The major determinant of plasma LDL level is saturated fatsaid Alice Lichtenstein professor of nutrition science and policy at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University.
The amount that one egg a day raises cholesterol in the blood is extremely small so small in fact that the increase in risk in heart disease related to this change in serum cholesterol could never be detected in any kind of study said Walter Willett professor of epidemiology and nutrition

For example diets high in calcium-rich foods have been shown to lower the risk of PMS but little was known about the role other minerals might play in preventing the symptoms.
The study found some evidence that a zinc intake of more than 15 milligrams a day was associated with a lower risk of PMS.
high intakes of this mineral were linked to a greater risk for PMS. We saw a 46 percent increase in the risk of PMS only among women with the highest level of intake
which was approximately 3700 milligrams a day. This was compared to women consuming the lowest amount
We were surprised to find that potassium intake was associated with a higher risk of PMS as this was
