Good News From The World of Medicine


Its great when I hear that foods I like are actually good for me,
like coffee, chocolate, beer, the list goes on ....
Well, according to a new study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition from Penn State University, a serving of pistachios each day as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. Results showed that consuming pistachios significantly lowers total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol levels.
So I'm going to Wal Mart later today to buy one of those big bags of pistachios, and I won't feel at all guilty about eating them.
Ah, the simple pleasures of life.
