Ok, so the study was done in mice and we already know that walnuts are a good, healthy food to eat.   And researchers who have studied groups of people who tend to live longer than average have already noted that many of them tend to eat a lot of nuts.

Still, this is interesting.  A study in the journal Nutrition and Cancer showed that mice fed walnuts regularly had a significantly reduced risk of developing breast cancer.    The amount of walnuts given to the mice corresponds to about 2 ounces a day for a person.

I keep baking walnuts and almonds – those without salt – in the freezer and get a handful out now and then to eat.  I would like to do it everyday, but for whatever reason most days I just don’t.  I need to get better at that.
