Nuts to you -- uh, for your health

I'm crazy about nuts -- cashews, pecans, almonds, walnuts, peanuts, etc. And nut butter? Yum!

So it's probably confirmation bias that drew me to this article: Study: A Daily Dose Of Nuts Could Be Key To Staying Sharp In Old Age. Key finding:

Conducted at the University of South Australia, the study found that consuming more than 10 grams of nuts per day led to improved mental functioning and thinking, and better memory and reasoning. The study consisted of 4,822 Chinese adults aged 55 or older.

Ten grams isn't much, though, hardly enough for a snack. But who knows? Maybe more is better.
