PMID: 29145952 Abstract Title:  Nut Consumption and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease. Abstract:  BACKGROUND: The associations between specific types of nuts, specifically peanuts and walnuts, and cardiovascular disease remain unclear. OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to analyze the associations between the intake of total and specific types of nuts and cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and stroke risk. METHODS: The authors included 76,364 women from the Nurses&#039; Health Study (1980 to 2012), 92,946 women from the Nurses&#039; Health Study II (1991 to 2013), and 41,526 men from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (1986 to 2012) who were free of cancer, heart disease, and stroke at baseline. Nut consumption was assessed using food frequency questionnaires at baseline and was updated every 4 years. RESULTS: During 5,063,439 person-years of follow-up, the authors documented 14,136 incident cardiovascular disease cases, including 8,390 coronary heart disease cases and 5,910 stroke cases. Total nut consumption was inversely associated with total cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors. The pooled multivariable hazard ratios for cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease among participants who consumed 1 serving of nuts (28 g) 5 or more times per week, compared with the reference category (never or almost never), were 0.86 (95% confidence interval: 0.79 to 0.93; p for trend = 0.0002) and 0.80 (95% confidence interval: 0.72 to 0.89; p for trend &lt;0.001), respectively. Consumption of peanuts and tree nuts (2 or more times/week) and walnuts (1 or more times/week) was associated with a 13% to 19% lower risk of total cardiovascular disease and 15% to 23% lower risk of coronary heart disease. CONCLUSIONS: In 3 large prospective cohort studies, higher consumption of total and specific types of nuts was inversely associated with total cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/consumption-nuts-was-associated-13-19-lower-risk-total-cardiovascular-disease-#comments Cardiovascular Diseases Coronary Artery Disease Nuts: All Peanuts Walnut Cardioprotective Cardioprotective Coronary Artery Disease Meta Analysis Nuts: All Peanuts Risk Reduction.

PMID: 30630552 Abstract Title:  Dietary and circulating vitamin C, vitamin E,β-carotene and risk of total cardiovascular mortality: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective observational studies. Abstract:  OBJECTIVE: The present review aimed to quantify the association of dietary intake and circulating concentration of major dietary antioxidants with risk of total CVD mortality.DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis.SETTING: Systematic search in PubMed and Scopus, up to October 2017.ParticipantsProspective observational studies reporting risk estimates of CVD mortality across three or more categories of dietary intakes and/or circulating concentrations of vitamin C, vitamin E andβ-carotene were included. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted.RESULTS: A total of fifteen prospective cohort studies and three prospective evaluations within interventional studies (320 548 participants and 16 974 cases) were analysed. The relative risks of CVD mortality for the highest v. the lowest category of antioxidant intakes were as follows: vitamin C, 0·79 (95 % CI 0·68, 0·89; I 2=46 %, n 10); vitamin E, 0·91 (95 % CI 0·79, 1·03; I 2=51 %, n 8); β-carotene, 0·89 (95 % CI 0·73, 1·05; I 2=34 %, n 4). The relative risks for circulating concentrations were: vitamin C, 0·60 (95 % CI 0·42, 0·78; I 2=65 %, n 6); α-tocopherol, 0·82 (95 % CI0·76, 0·88; I 2=0 %, n 5); β-carotene, 0·68 (95 % CI 0·52, 0·83; I 2=50 %, n 6). Dose-response meta-analyses demonstrated that the circulating biomarkers of antioxidants were more strongly associated with risk of CVD mortality than dietary intakes.CONCLUSIONS: The present meta-analysis demonstrates that higher vitamin C intake and higher circulating concentrations of vitamin C, vitamin E andβ-carotene are associated with a lower risk of CVD mortality. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/higher-vitamin-c-intake-and-higher-circulating-concentrations-vitamin-c-vitami" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/higher-vitamin-c-intake-and-higher-circulating-concentrations-vitamin-c-vitami#comments beta-Carotene Cardiac Mortality Cardiovascular Diseases Vitamin C Vitamin E Antioxidants Cardioprotective Meta Analysis Risk Reduction.
