By Dr. Chinta SidharthanApr 25 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in the journal Antioxidants, researchers reviewed current literature to examine walnuts' potential antioxidant and anti-cancer properties and the health benefits of incorporating walnuts into the diet.
Among tree nuts, including hazelnuts, pecans, and almonds, walnuts have the highest amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid, and are a good source of fiber and protein. Related StoriesAdditionally, walnut consumption was associated with alterations in apoptosis, cell differentiation, and proliferation pathways.
The review also reported the results from human studies that found improvements in other parameters such as gut microbiome diversity and abundance, urolithin levels, and reductions in cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein levels associated with walnut consumption. Studies on rat models, with protein and fiber content matched diets for comparison, reported increased probiotic bacteria such as Roseburia, Ruminococcaceae, and Lactobacillus in the gut after walnut consumption.
