The odds of staying heart-healthy improved by 6 percent with each additional serving (28 grams, or about one handful).<\/p>\n<p>The diabetics who ate peanuts, however, did not have the same outcomes as those who binged on walnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, pecans, macadamia nuts and pine nuts.
