A new study claims that eating nuts, especially tree nuts, might be beneficial to colon cancer survivors, as the food could potentially help reduce the risk of recurrence and death.
In a study published Wednesday in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, a team of researchers documented their findings on 826 patients, who were monitored for a median time of 6.5 years after they first received surgery and chemotherapy for stage III colon cancer. Medscape wrote that the patients were given a detailed, 20-page questionnaire that surveyed them on the types of foods that they ate. The researchers then calculated their total nut intake, which figured in the consumption of both tree nuts and peanuts, the latter of which are considered as legumes.
