Nuts - one of the healthiest foods

There were many studies done about benefits of eating nuts. Like this one, for instance: One group of people were given whole grain bread, the other group - same bread baked with ground pecans. Blood tests were done for both groups a little while after eating. The second group whose meal contained nuts had much lower levels of LDL - the bad cholesterol, higher antioxidants in the blood, and higher vitamin E. They commented that the bread with nuts tasted better too.

Here's a little poem I wrote about nuts:

Eating daily lots of nuts
Will do wonders for your hearts;
If you like to snack all day,
Keep at hand a nut-filled tray;
All the scientists will say
Nuts keep cholesterol at bay
And sugar from unhealthy sway.
