According to research, walnuts contain nearly twice the amount of antioxidants than almonds, peanuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts, brazil nuts, cashews and hazlenuts

Joe Vinson, the author of another study into the health benefits of walnuts, confirmed the high level of antioxidants and was puzzled why people didn’t eat more.
