I love these and there are some recent studies that showed reduction in heart disease risk when men added a small amount to their daily diet...though I must say, the effect probably wasn't specific to Pecans, but the effect of adding an extra shot of "good fat" to the diet and the likelihood that the Pecans substituted for other high carb snacks.

I also look for opportunities to add Pecans (as well as Pecans and Hazelnuts) to other fare...sprinkle on salads, nut-crusting meat, etc. They make whatever you eat a little more satiating and reduce the cravings for starchy carbs...
