Is this the Super Nut? (Plus, special on another nut oil) Everyone wants to rank one food ahead of the next...

Is a cashew better than a pine nut?

Is a goji berry better than a cherry?

Is kale better than broccoli?

Let's face it, if you're having this discussion, chances are you're pretty healthy and maybe the difference between the two you're comparing isn't that great.

Today, I have a report on a super nut that is easy to get -- that shows some promising research for diabetics as well as many other health issues. I'm also going to share a recipe that contains that nut as well, so you can not only learn something today, but go out and take action on it!

Before I start, I want to talk about another super nut, Sacha Inchi oil. This oil has the greatest concentration of essential fatty acids of any plant oil. It also has a greater amount of omega 3 oil compared to omega 6. This is an important ratio to take note of, since real research is turning up that the closer this ratio is to even, the healthier you are.

Sacha Inchi oil can be used as a supplement for essential fatty acids or as something you add to your dressings or recipes.

We bring this oil up from Peru, it is grown sustainably, organically and fair trade.
That's why we run out from time to time! I'd rather be out of stock then source from another place that I'm not familiar with.

Anyway, if you'd like to try this oil or stock up, we're offering deals on 2 or more bottles. If you get 3, we'll give you one free!

Here's where you can read more and get a bottle or two today:

Super Nut? Studies Show – Walnuts Great for Diabetics and Rank Above Many Other Healthy Nuts : Exclusive Renegade Health Article

new study shows that walnuts help improve blood vessel function in diabetics, potentially reducing the risk of heart disease.
If you’ve adopted a high raw, healthy diet, likely you already enjoy walnuts on a regular basis. Here’s more good news for you: Among all its other health benefits, according to a recent study, walnuts improve blood-vessel health and function in patients with type-2 diabetes. This is important, as diabetics are at a higher risk for heart disease, and the improvement seen in this study suggests that walnuts could help reduce overall cardiac risk.

What Happened in the Study
Yale researchers recruited 24 diabetic patients with an average age of 58. One group was fed a standard diet, and the other a diet with 56 grams or about two ounces of walnuts a day for eight weeks. The researchers measured blood vessel function at the beginning and end of the study, and also drew blood to measure blood sugar levels and insulin.
Results showed that endothelial function improved significantly on the walnut diet. In other words, those on the walnut diet had a 45 percent greater increase in blood vessel relaxation compared to the placebo group. “A walnut-enriched diet improves [blood vessel health] in type 2 diabetic individuals, suggesting a potential reduction in overall cardiac risk.”
The findings were in line with a previous study that showed walnuts were associated with reduced cholesterol levels. Another study published in the Journal of Nutrition (2004) showed that walnuts had a beneficial effect on cholesterol levels and C-reactive protein (CRP), which is an inflammation marker strongly associated with atherosclerosis and artery disease.
But walnuts have shown to have even more health benefits.

Boosting Brain Power
Researchers at Andrews University divided 64 students into two groups. One munched on banana bread made with walnuts every day for 2 months. The second ate banana bread without walnuts. At the end of the 8 weeks, researchers gave the students a variety of cognitive tests. Results showed that students who had eaten walnuts daily for performed better on tests that measured inferential reasoning—the ability to judge the accuracy of statements made when reading an article, paper, or other source.

Protecting Bone Health
Studies have also found that walnuts may help decrease the breakdown of bone. One published in the Nutrition Journal Penn State found that higher consumption of the essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)—such as that which is plentiful in walnuts—leads to a reduction in bone turnover, and a shift in the balance of bone degradation/formation toward formation. Walnuts are considered one of the most nutrient-dense whole food sources of ALA.

King of the Nuts
Joe Vinson of the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania said in a statement that walnuts rank above peanuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios and other nuts, as they contain almost twice as many antioxidants. Of course, all nuts contain high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, but the antioxidants in walnuts were 2–15 times as potent as vitamin E, according to findings presented at the 241st National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society.
And if you’re worried about calories — Vinson said it takes only about 7 walnuts a day to enjoy the health benefits.
