“…A study even observed that peanuts consumed as a snack had a greater compensatory effect on energy intake than when consumed with a meal (44). In addition, regularly consumed peanut products could be replacing sugary or processed snacks (45).…”

Although numerous studies have reported the protective effect of nut consumption on cardiovascular risk, evidence for the role of peanuts in maintaining cardiometabolic health is inconclusive. Presented here are the results from the ARISTOTLE study, a parallel randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of regular peanut intake on anthropometric, biochemical, and clinical measurements. The 63 healthy subjects that completed the study consumed their habitual diet plus either: a) 25 g/day of skin roasted peanuts (SRP, n = 21), b) two tablespoons (32 g)/day of peanut butter (PB, n = 23) or c) two tablespoons (32 g)/day of a control butter based on peanut oil (CB, n = 19) for 6 months. In addition, a meta-analysis of clinical trials, including data from the ARISTOTLE study, was carried out to update the evidence for the effects of consuming peanuts, including high-oleic peanuts, and peanut butter on healthy subjects and those at high cardiometabolic risk. After a systematic search on PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Scopus databases up to July 2021, 11 studies were found to meet the eligibility criteria. In the ARISTOTLE study, lower total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratios were found in the SRP group compared to the CB group (p = 0.019 and p = 0.008). The meta-analysis of clinical trials revealed that peanut consumption is associated with a decrease in triglycerides (MD: −0.13; 95% CI, −0.20 to −0.07; p < 0.0001) and that healthy consumers had lower total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratios compared to the control groups (MD: −0.40; 95% CI, −0.71 to −0.09; p = 0.01 and MD: −0.19; 95% CI, −0.36 to −0.01; p = 0.03, respectively). However, individuals at high cardiometabolic risk experienced an increase in body weight after the peanut interventions (MD: 0.97; 95% CI, 0.54 to 1.41; p < 0.0001), although not in body fat or body mass index. According to the dose-response analyses, body weight increased slightly with higher doses of peanuts. In conclusion, a regular consumption of peanuts seems to modulate lipid metabolism, reducing triglyceride blood levels.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://osf.io/jx34y/, identifier: 10.17605/OSF.IO/MK35Y.

“…These same participants also gained less weight than what would theoretically be expected when adding 500 kcal/day over a period of eight weeks [17]. There is some evidence to suggest that compensatory dietary changes that occur with the addition of peanuts to the diet may differ by gender, with women tending to reduce consumption of sweet snacks and men tending to reduce the consumption of savory snacks when peanuts are added [46]. These findings add to the body of evidence that peanuts are a highly satiating snack food, that when consumed in place of other less healthy snacks, may help adults maintain a healthy weight.…”

Background:Regular consumption of nuts and peanuts may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease due to the bioactive compounds found within them. Previous research suggests that including nuts and seeds as part of an overall healthy dietary pattern may help manage blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride, and fasting blood glucose levels, but few studies have examined the specific effect of dry-roasted, skinless peanuts on these outcomes. Objective:The objective was to examine the effect of regular consumption of dry-roasted, skinless peanuts on markers of metabolic health among women. Methods:This was a pre-post test study. Eligible women were randomized into either the intervention group (49 g peanuts/day, n=30) or the control group (participants’ usual diet minus peanuts, n=28) for 12 weeks. Anthropometrics, cholesterol, triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, and blood pressure levels were measured at baseline and end-line. Results:There were no significant between-group differences for any of the outcomes of interest. For the peanut group, there was a significant within-group decrease in systolic blood pressure (-7.0 mmHg; 95% CI: 1.3, 12.6), and a significant increase in total: HDL cholesterol ratio from baseline to endline (0.2; 95% CI: -0.3, 0.02). There was a significant within-group decrease in diastolic blood pressure for the control group (-6.3 mmHg; 95% CI: 2.0, 10.6). Conclusion:Among healthy young women, the addition of daily peanuts to a usual diet does not appear to negatively affect body composition as measured by BMI, waist circumference, and body fat percentage. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the effect of peanut consumption on indicators of cardiovascular health in different populations.

“…Therefore, analyses that account for these sociodemographic factors (such as age, sex, socioeconomic status, education) in both dietary components are needed. Third, while fruit and vegetable intake and weight control has been studied widely, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, research examining overall core food intake is virtually absent despite evidence showing that foods such as nuts [31,32], legumes [10], wholegrains [33] and low-fat dairy products [2] are also associated with weight control. Studying total CEI may reflect a more flexible and real-world approach than studying fruit and vegetable intake exclusively, especially given that several barriers may prevent the adoption of their increased consumption, e.g., taste aversion [34,35,36] and perceived greater cost [37].…”

Modelling the Association between Core and Discretionary Energy Intake in Adults with and without Obesity

Background: Many dietary recommendations for weight control rely on the assumption that greater core food intake will displace intake of energy-dense discretionary foods and beverages. However, there is little evidence to support these assumptions. This study examined the naturalistic relationship between daily core and discretionary energy intake, and with discretionary food and discretionary beverage intake, separately. The impact of weight status on these associations was also examined. Method: One hundred participants completed a four-day (non-consecutive) estimated food diary. Discretionary foods and beverages were identified by reference to the Australian Dietary Guidelines. Non-discretionary items were considered core items. Simultaneous-equation random effects models using disaggregated dietary data controlling for sociodemographic variables were used to determine the association between various dietary components. Result: Core energy intake correlated negatively with discretionary energy intake (cross-equation correlation, ρ = −0.49 (95% CI: −0.57, −0.39)). Its correlation with discretionary foods (−0.47 (−0.56, −0.37)) was stronger than that with discretionary beverages (−0.19 (−0.30, −0.07)) The correlation between core energy intake and discretionary energy intake was significantly stronger in participants who did not have obesity (−0.67 (−0.71, −0.50)) than those with obesity (−0.32 (−0.46, −0.17)) (p = 0.0002). Conclusions: Core and discretionary energy intake share an inverse and potentially bidirectional, relationship that appears to be stronger with discretionary foods than discretionary beverages. These relationships were significantly weaker in participants with obesity which may indicate less precise dietary compensation in these individuals. While strategies that promote greater intake of core foods may assist with weight maintenance in individuals of healthy weight, its impact in individuals with obesity may be limited. These strategies should be accompanied by direct messages to reduce commensurately the intake of discretionary items, with special attention paid to discretionary beverage consumption.
