Yes it was a rodent study. No, I don't like the idea of breeding cancer ridden mice.
That said, I am happy to see more studies on nutrition and health, period. This recent study showed that not only did walnut consumption decrease breast tumor incidence in the study mice but also decreased the number of glands with a tumor and the tumor size. The amount they fed the mice would be about 2 oz of day of walnuts for an average sized adult.
The quote offered by the study author on sciencedaily.com wasn't new news though. "Walnuts are better than cookies, french fries or potato chips when you need a snack," said Hardman. Um, thanks for the tip.
