RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil – A recently released study shows low density lipoproteins, LDL, in hypertensive and dyslipidemia patients is reduced by the consumption of granulated Brazil nuts.
LDL is the “bad” cholesterol, while dyslipidemia is a condition where plasma cholesterol, triglycerides – or both – work towards causing atherosclerosis.
While treatment usually means diet and exercise changes, this study shows that a granulated form of nut, the Brazil nut (Bertholletia excels), is an effective and faster treatment of the condition. Brazil nuts are grown in South America.
Findings were published in the May edition of the Nutrition Journal.
More than 90 hypertensive and dyslipidemia patients of both genders between 62 and 71 years old were studied in a randomized crossover, double-blind, placebo controlled test. They followed a diet with a partially defatted granulated Brazil nut at 13 grams per day or placebo for 12 weeks with a four-week washout interval. Baselines were established and oxidized LDL was evaluated at the start and finish of each intervention.
Researchers have concluded that partially defatted Brazil nut granules benefit plasma selenium, increase enzymatic antioxidant activity, and reduce oxidation in LDL in patients suffering from hypertension and dyslipidemia.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
