Australians often avoid eating nuts, including almonds, due to their kilojoule and fat content. But a recent randomised trial, Australian-based researchers, provides further evidence that an energy-restricted diet, containing nuts (almonds, in this case) can promote weight loss and maintenance, and support cardiometabolic health.

2023/09/25

Historically, nutrition science focused on individual nutrients, and how falling short of these could lead to certain diseases. Decades on, in many higher-income countries, like Australia, nutrient deficiencies are no longer the norm. Instead, we’re much more attuned to rising rates of chronic diseases, which are not caused by single nutrients (or lack of a single nutrient), but have multiple determinants. So, we need to consider foods, food groups and, most importantly, dietary patterns. In our
