WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2002 Research being published today in The Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that eating nuts and peanut butter might help prevent Type II diabetes. The study of 83,000 women showed that those who a handful of nuts or one tablespoon of peanut butter at least five times a week were more than 20 percent less likely to develop diabetes than those who rarely or never ate nut products. Type II diabetes affects Native Americans at high rates. It prevents the body from using energy properly and can results in kidney failure, blindness, high blood pressure and other problems.
