Oh (nutritious) nuts!

You may often hear disparaging comments about nuts because they contain fat, but this idea stems from the misleading concept that all fats are bad.

Researchers and clinicians now know certain fats (trans fat and saturated fat) contribute to heart disease, while others (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated) may actually reduce the risk of a heart attack.
