“They found that older mice fed a regular diet exhibited changes consistent with lipid raft aging, including reduced omega-3 fatty acid concentrations, increased membrane lipid saturation, and altered lipid composition.”

“Total LDL particles decreased by 4.3 percent, and small LDL particle number decreased by 6.1 percent. Interestingly, the LDL-lowering effects of the walnut diet differed by sex, with a 7.9 percent decrease in LDL among men and a 2.6 percent decrease among women.”

“The first randomized controlled trial comparing a nutritional intervention with social support in the treatment of major depression found that 32.3% of participants that improved diet quality went into remission compared to 8% or people treated with social support.”
