Can eating almonds reduce wrinkles?

However, the way in which the studies were conducted does not rule out possible similar benefit from other nuts.For details, including the amount of almonds consumed and the length of time before benefits were seen, sign in and see the full answer >>

October 10, 2019It seems as though they should have fed the "placebo" group something with a similar nutritional profile to the almond. For example, pistachio nuts -- not a low-fat, high-carbohydrate, meal. Maybe it wasn't the almonds, but the added fat, 60g of almonds have about 28g of total fat.
