We used to think that walnut’s “secret sauce” against cancer was its super-high content of antioxidants, which is the highest of all nuts. But researchers have now found that proteins also suppress multiple types of cells in test tubes, including breast, prostate, leukemia and melanoma. Could this combination of cancer fighting antioxidants and plant-based proteins have an impact on humans? A recent study from Europe suggests yes. It found that people eating more than 3 servings weekly had an astounding 54% less risk of cancer death compared to non-consumers. So consider adding more walnut and other to your regular healthy diet! Sources: Pubmed ID 27679440, 28945497, 23866098
