Two New Studies Examine the Potential Impact of Almonds in People with Type 2 Diabetes

Researchers got to the gut and heart of the matter, presenting emerging research that explores gut hormones and the gut's role in nutrient and phytochemical absorption of almonds to examining the heart health impact of including almonds for individuals with type 2 diabetes. (1)(2)(3)(4)

The associated heart health effects of almonds, as well as low carbohydrate content (one-ounce of almonds contains 3g of net carbohydrates) has prompted researchers to further investigate the benefit of adding almonds and other nuts to the diets of individuals with diabetes.
