OT: For those that like peanuts... August 15, 2000 Help for your heart Peanuts, as any dieter knows, are remarkably fattening. A mere handful (30 whole kernels) contains 13 grams of fat -- and fat accounts for a whopping 70 percent of a peanut's calories. But in the area of heart disease, peanuts seem to have a built-in safety mechanism. One recent study found that people who ate nuts five times a day cut down their risk of having a heart attack by 50 percent. Another study, of 40,000 postmenopausal women, found a connection between eating nuts and a lowered risk of heart disease. The reason seems to be that peanuts contain resveratrol, the compound responsible for red wine's apparent ability to offset the heart-harmful effects of a high-fat diet.
