Health Effects of Nut Consumption

Dear Colleagues,

Nutrients is planning a Special Issue focusing on the health effects of nuts.  Current guidelines in a number of countries emphasise the inclusion of nuts as part of a cardioprotective diet. Recent research has investigated the effects of regular nut consumption on a wide range of risk factors for a number of different chronic diseases. The continued investigation of these risk factors, as well as other novel biomarkers of chronic disease, are important for guiding nut consumption recommendations.  

This Special Issue aims to bring together up-to-date reviews and cutting-edge original research in the field of health effects of nut consumption. We welcome manuscripts on long-term, short-term and acute human studies, as well as epidemiological research on a wide range of outcomes associated with nut consumption. We also invite submissions of systematic reviews and meta-analyses on nut consumption.

We invite you to submit your latest research on the health effects of nut consumption.
