“We know that snacking contributes almost 25% of total daily calories in young adults in the U.S.,”
“Substituting typical high carbohydrate snacks with tree nuts (almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts) would likely have a positive impact in reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome and its consequences in this age group.”
“We need to encourage people—especially those Millennials at risk for MetSx—to get their handful of nuts every day.”
