What kind of nuts? Seems like a really broad statement. I scanned the article, but didn't see if it actually states what ones are best to consume.

Deez nuts

It's based on a meta-analysis of eight studies and they didn't filter specific nut type.

Boy that's helpful of them. "This just in: the body needs food."

You know that they are talking about hypertension, right?
wesker@lemmy.sdf.org · 1 pts · 7d
Yes. There are at least 25 kinds of culinary nuts. What ones are they talking about? What ones are best for this purpose?

They don't distinguish it because it's a meta-analysis. You can review the study selection criteria if you want. The study is linked in the text.

I know, Meta sucks balls... I mean, nuts.

And I'm saying they left out the most important details that would have made the article worth the read.

It's a meta-analysis on the effect of 'nuts' on blood pressure. Not 'groundnuts' or 'cashew nuts', 'nuts'. It's meant to understand the general effect of nut consumption, not to give you a specific recommendation.
