Led by Dr David Jenkins the research concludes that consuming two ounces of mixed, unsalted, raw or dry roasted nuts on a daily basis as a replacement for carbohydrates is effective in controlling glycemic and serum lipid levels of people with Type 2 diabetes.
In the course of the research, three groups of subjects with Type 2 diabetes were given three different diet supplements. One was given muffins, the other a mixture of nuts and the last a mixture of muffins and nuts. Best results have been recorded for the group having Type 2 diabetes and consuming the complete dose of nuts. Their HbA1c [the long-term marker of glycemic control] reduced by two-thirds of what the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recognizes as 'being clinically meaningful for therapeutic agents,' informs Jenkins.

Though observed over time that obesity was more prevalent in the Southern regions where the rural sectors of the society lived and produced fried food in large quantities, a report from the former organization indicated that the obesity rates have only increased all through the U.S.
With the growing rate of obesity in the country, public health experts are trying to bring about awareness among the masses. They are trying to encourage easy solutions like healthy food choices and physical exercises. American Academy of Paediatrics put forth an act to ban advertisement screenings that promote the purchase or consumption of junk foods to prevent obesity.
The problem of obesity brings along with it an increased budget for healthcare in the country. It might also hamper the military recruitment in the future.
