A study conducted by Dr. Rachel Brown, a professor of human nutrition at the University of Otago, involved 100 participants who were given either 42.5g of unroasted almonds or a calorie-matched sweet biscuit. The study found that almonds helped temper the post-snack blood sugar response, potentially reducing the risk of heart disease associated with high blood sugar levels.
