Researchers expected to see more cases of diverticulitis among people who ate the dubious foods more often. They found just the opposite: men with the highest intake of nuts had a 20% lower risk of diverticulitis than men with the lowest intake, consuming them less than once a month. There were 133 cases of diverticulitis among the 12,928 men who ate nuts at least two times a week, versus 199 cases among...
