Dear Anita

Pine nuts and macadamia nuts are my favorite. Nuts are nutritious and delicious. In twenty-eight grams of mixed nuts there are: 3 g fiber, 5 g of protein and 12% vitamin E.

Nuts contain antioxidants that protect cells from damage by free radicals (highly reactive and short-lived molecules that can damage dna and contribute to cancers).

Twenty-eight grams of nuts, about an ounce of mixed nuts daily can lower risk of heart disease and stroke.
