Just ran across this article, which I found very reassuring:
I find it reassuring because I eat at least a handful of cashews just about every day, mostly because I love cashews. With this news, I may broaden my repertoire -- I'm rather fond of almonds, too.
A note: This may become another regular feature, although I don't know if it will remain on Saturdays, although that seems like a good day: by the weekend, I'm really sick of all the posturing by the assholes in Washington and the media.
According to the largest study of its kind, people who ate a daily handful of nuts were 20 percent less likely to die from any cause over a 30-year period than those who didn’t consume nuts, say scientists from the Harvard-affiliated Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and the Harvard School of Public Health.
Their report, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, contains further good news: The regular nut-eaters were found to be more slender than those who didn’t eat nuts, a finding that should alleviate fears that eating a lot of nuts will lead to overweight.

Most intriguing. Raw almonds and cashews are very good for you, filled with essential oils. The roasted ones are much less valuable.
Alas, I eat lots of nuts and seeds, and I certainly amn't slimmer than the average!
Ah, but just imagine if you only ate nuts and seeds!
