Content: Humans have eaten nuts for thousands of years, yet their consumption was discouraged just a few decades ago due to their high-fat content. This perspective began to change in the early 1990s due to seminal publications from the Adventist Health Study, which showed that nut consumption significantly improved heart health-related outcomes. Many randomized clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and in vitro/in vivo mechanistic studies have since explored the role of eating nuts and its relation to health. Similarly, dried fruits have been scrutinized due to their concentrated sugar content despite their non-sodium micronutrient and fiber density. Due to accumulating evidence on nut and dried fruit intake and health outcomes, an international scientific meeting was organized for leading experts to examine and recapitulate in detail what is well known and established and what avenues of knowledge are still lacking in nut and dried fruit research. These findings highlight the beneficial health potentials of nuts for researchers, health professionals, other stakeholders, and the public while simultaneously pinpointing areas for further investigation to continue informing and guiding health practices and policies

Content: "Nuts are dried fruits are part of our daily diet. They are consumed as whole or as ingredients throughout the food system as products such as muffins, cereals, chocolates, energy bars, Nutella, breads, and cookies, among others. Health Benefits of Nuts and Dried Fruits provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on the health benefits of nuts and dried fruits. The book summarizes the current state of knowledge in key research areas and contain ideas for future product development. Nuts contain a number of bioactives and health-promoting components. They are highly nutritious and contain macronutrients, micronutrients, fat-soluble bioactives, and phytochemicals. Moreover, nuts contain numerous types of antioxidants with different properties. In addition, nuts are recognized for their health-promoting aspects, particularly for their role in reducing cardiovascular disease risk. This may be due to the favorable lipid profile and low-glycemic nature of nuts. Dried fruits, which serve as important healthful snacks worldwide, provide a concentrated form of fresh fruits. They are nutritionally equivalent to fresh fruits in smaller serving sizes, ranging from 30 to 43 g depending on the fruit, in current dietary recommendation in different countries. Various scientific evidence suggest that individuals who consume dried fruits regularly have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, certain types of cancer, type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and osteoporosis as well as other non-communicable diseases. Features: Provides detailed information in health effects of nuts and dried fruits Highlights current regulation and health claims of nuts and dried fruits Provides updated dietary recommendations on nuts and dried fruits Discusses metabolism and absorption of nuts and dried fruits Discusses the mechanisms implicated in the health effects of nuts Although this book is intended primarily as a reference book, it will also summarize the current state of knowledge in key research areas and contain idea for future work for the reader. Food Scientists, biochemists, nutritionists, health professionals, decision makers, and regulatory agencies, among others will benefits from this book"--
